This is a general issue which is relevant to several tools. I use the CPU emulator as an example. When you run a program, like Pong, you see the register values changing, by default. If you want to disable the display, you have to click the "Registers" label, or the "carrot" in the far-right. I am concerned that the former is not self-explanatory and the latter too out of visual context. Therefore users may simply don't know that they can disable/enable the display. The quick fix that I propose is moving the carrot to be just before (on the left of) the Registers label. The default will be "V Registers" (enable display), and clicking the carrot/label will switch to " > Registers" (disable display). I suggest that you do this fix in the CPU emulator, and if we like it we can do it in other tools also.
