Parent design task for the 2020 Google Summer of Code Continued Outliner Improvements project.
**Status:**
- {icon circle color=yellow} **Not started**
- {icon circle color=blue} **In Progress**
- {icon circle color=green} **Completed**
**Major Targets:**
[x] {icon circle color=green} {D5817}
[] {icon circle color=blue} {T68498}
[x] {icon circle color=green} {T63991}
[] {icon circle color=blue} {T68502}
[] {icon circle color=blue} {T77770}
[] {icon circle color=blue} {T77777}
**Smaller Fixes and Designs:**
[] Drag and drop improvements:
[] Drag and drop of strips from outliner to sequencer
[x] Remove need to hold Shift when parenting
*** One idea: A drop on an object name would do parenting, anywhere else could do collection link.
*** Perhaps the highlights that indicate what action will be performed on a drag+drop could be improved. Color, location, etc. could indicate what action rather than relying on a keyboard shortcut.
[] Drag and drop to reorder constraints and modifiers
[x] Autoscroll on drag+drop near the top and bottom of the outliner
[x] Option to create a new collection from the selected elements ([[https://devtalk.blender.org/t/gsoc-2020-outliner-discussion-and-suggestions/13178/22 | devtalk]])
** This could be dropdown or simply the default behavior
[] Indicate active object when in a collapsed hierarchy ([[https://devtalk.blender.org/t/gsoc-2020-outliner-discussion-and-suggestions/13178/59|devtalk]])
** We already have 3+ highlight indicators, so this would have to be done well to prevent clutter.
**Papercuts:**
[] Some outliner data icons are missing (Palette, Particle Settings, ...)
[x] Walk in/out tree with left and right arrow keys is not supported.
