Find design for choosing and highlighting the inspected node context
Closed, ResolvedPublicDESIGN

Description

Needed design as result of D10875: Spreadsheet: Show data of node.

Issues to be challenged:

  • The icon in the header of each node adds unnecessary visual noise
  • When zoomed out it's incredibly inconvenient to both activate the toggle as well as see which node is currently being inspected
  • Some nodes have multiple geometry output sockets (e.g. Point Separate), as of now there is no way of selecting which output to inspect

Initial proposals:

  • Assign shortcut that can be triggered by clicking anywhere on the node (e.g. Ctrl++LMB)
  • Highlight the inspected node in a way that is visually striking

Comments:

  • The preview of geometry in the 3D viewport should also be considered to work with this design
