base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?

Hey, I'll check it out. Are we able to wrap the 'editable' things in some kind of span / character wrapper that we can then apply CSS to? Agreed tho, this is super sweet. |

NOTE: #844 is doing some custom cursor overlay stuff we might be able to steal for this. |
Some thoughts on this
|
I'm pretty sure that code lives in https://github.com/mozilla/brackets/blob/master/src/extensions/default/QuickView/main.js. We could borrow from that to show the scrubber arrow and unit stuff. |
This is what I did in #844 : https://github.com/mozilla/brackets/pull/844/files#diff-172c2aa71bb7326386a85125ccd13603R145 |
Here are some ideas for adding an affordance to this cool feature: a little pop-up bubble (similar to what we do for the colorpicker. It would appear when the text cursor is on an editable-property. Here's an option above the code, and beside the line of code it affects (with a highlight on the number it will change) I like the first option better as it requires a smaller mouse movement to use. In addition, we could delay the appearance of this bubble a little bit so that it's not distracting. We could also clear out the bubble if someone starts editing the value by typing. cc @humphd |
While discussing the idea of adding more inline editors, I came across this cool everyscrub extension. It basically adds a listener for you holding down
Alt
+mousedown
scrubbing on a number, and then increases or decreases it. Here is what it looks like:It's fun, and makes it easy to try things. What isn't great about it is that it's yet another UI tool that is impossible to self-discover. @flukeout maybe you have ideas for how we could modify it slightly to have it show up for users in a way that makes it obvious how to use?
Not sure if we want this or not, but I thought I'd do a PR to experiment with it.
