Resize panels In script editor

[jdanish]

Right now it appears the line editor on the right is about 1/3 of the total size. We think 1/2 would be more usable. Long-term it'd be great if we could just re-size this, but if that's a major undertaking then changing the size to be 1/2 would be great.

@jdanish screenshots and urls in cases like this would save many hours of hunting for what you are referring to...

Of course - let me know of any like this and I'll add. I'm not sure what we are calling the panel on the right where you choose options, but it appears to be 1/3 of the window, and 1/2 would be better, or being able to resize flexibly would be amazing.

@jdanish I think the challenge here is figuring out what to do with long lines in the script editor: wrapping them makes them hard to read, and using a scrollbar is difficult for everyone. That's the main reason why it's as wide as it is.

I suppose another method would be to close or reduce the size of the edit panel on the right until something is selected.

Estimate: 2 if simply change sizes based on selection/edit state Estimate: 4-8 if add a dragger.

When I tested, the script panel currently does scroll if needed - it just requires the mousepad in my case, and there is no scroll bar. I guess let's try the simpler one and see how that works?

Yeah I'm curious if you saw how students dealt with that (if at all). Did using chromebooks teach most students how to scroll horizontally? What about if they're only using a mouse (if that is even still a possibility in this day and age)?
