New design - "Inspector" #7

Open lilactown opened 5 years ago

lilactown commented 5 years ago

I have a new design in mind that will provide the ability to navigate multiple structures at once, rather than right now where you may only navigate into one data structure at a time.

The idea is to merge the two Current and Next panes into one, called an Inspector. Multiple Inspector panes can be active at one time; they can be named, minimized, or closed. You can open the same value in two different inspectors to get different views on the same data.

Inspector

The basic inspector is pretty much the Current pane. There will be some additional controls e.g. naming, minimizing, closing.

Clicking on an item in the inspector will replace the inspector in the pane with the Inspector Preview.

The inspector preview replaces the Next pane. This shows the data at the selected item in the currently navigated value.

Clicking on a different item on the left will preview that.

Clicking on the "Inspector" text in the title of the pane will take you back to the normal inspector.

Clicking the "Nav" button on the lower right will navigate to the currently selected item and bring you to the inspector of that item.
