5 years ago As I'm working on the YoastSEO package, I heard from the Yoast people that many people like to have the analysis visible while editing text. On the one hand you don't want something going that's distracting, but on the other, you shouldn't need to click around to find the inspector for the document, then the right tab, then uncollapse stuff.
You can check it out by installing the free version. it will add it's own tab and some other modifications.
I think as soon as we don't need the inspector anymore for editing so much content, we can use it more for analysis like SEO, tracking, whatever... and can optionally have it sticky like you said.
Two unrelated ideas, just for inspiration:
Divide inspector into document and content sections
I really like how WP divides inspector into block and document sections, while grouping things inside with accordions.
I find it a huge problem to explain to editors why some things are available only when you unfocus some content node...
Make inspector not always visible
I like how tilda.cc has inspector only appear on toggle from some inline node:
We could add a pin button to it that would keep it always open, but the default behavior could be to make it hide itself on click inside content canvas. This idea works well with https://github.com/neos/guild-ux/issues/2
