Template editor - design improvement idea!

ronsum · October 5, 2020, 2:49pm

The Developer Tools, Template editor is limited in width on the editor side, especially when long single line templates are being written.

I propose greatly improving usability by having either:

adjustable pane sizes between the editor and renderer
a pop-up / pop-out window for the renderer pane (allowing the editor pane to be full width)

Either option would also allow desktop users/editors to utilize multiple screen setups.

Hope I get your vote, thanks!

If you resize the browser’s window, you can force one pane to appear below the other.

I’d appreciate the ability to do that without having to resize the window.

I’ve added my vote since I’ve been asking about something similar for over a year… Possible to split dev-template horizontally?

had this too: Adjustable table width for developer-tools/state though some has changed for the better since

And interestingly this feature request already has more votes than yours!

Don't take it personally ;-)

(I voted for yours back when you raised it)

I suspect many more people are using automations and scripts with Jinja2 templates now that they’ve been improved so much. I figure it’s a particularly good time for this.
