Enhancements to creating a build plate #15

Closed

Description

@emschwar

With my old man eyes and/or dexterity, it's easy for me to try to click a checkbox and miss slightly, which takes me to the top of the screen with that row filled in to edit. This can certainly lose someone (me) their place, and also is a bit annoying when I'm trying to create a build plate with a large number of items. Also, if you don't notice you're editing an item instead of creating a new one, it could cause lost data.

Possible options, most preferred first:

  • Just make the entire row clickable. This is super easy and my most preferred option.
  • Failing that, make the row's name and everything to its left the selection action.
  • Failing that, make the entire row from its far left side to a few pixels before the start of the text clickable.

In addition, if I want to select an entire swath of items from adjacent rows, it'd be nice to be able to shift-click to select or deselect a contiguous range of rows.

It might also be nice to have an option to automatically add new items to a build plate, so I don't have to go back and select them later.

    Hi @emschwar , thanks for the usability improvement suggestions! I've implemented them in PR #16 and they should be live any minute now!
