Things to change during rewrite

How to read this: This is a brainstorming document; everything which is marked with !!! should actually be taken into account during the rewrite with React. The remaining things just show a brainstorming.

  • !!! Insert Into / After / Before (HOLD; visibilty)

    • Just have one "INSERT" element; make a way to choose positioning.
    • If you only have one node type to insert, skip wizard

  • Content Editing

    • drag/drop in content
    • maybe Multi-Selection in Content Area (for moving / copying)
    • !!!! TOOLBAR: Overlaying Content Dimension Selector with Bold/... editing controls
      • try to make a popover of "Bold/Italic/..." (below the current selection if something is selected)
    • drop overlays of non-inline-editable things.

  • Trees

    • multi-selection in tree
    • Editors confuse DocumentTree and StructureTree (and two toolbars!)

  • Inspector

    • !! (CONTROVERSIAL) Inspector Apply / Cancel (maybe "auto-apply?")
    • "Do you want to clear changes" (inspector modal dialogue?)
      • show problem more clearly
    • Tabs do not scale (Christopher Ono)
    • "Go up in node hierachy dropdown" is confusing --> Use Structure Tree!
    • Reference Editor (live search outputs every content on your website) -- INTEGRATE WITH CLIPBOARD

  • General

    • do buttons have all a clear label etc?
    • what is currently focussed? (content element or page)
    • make side panels resizable & switchable (RTL languages)
    • Themability?
    • Dropdowns "blend" in current UI (do not look like dropdowns)
    • Dialogs look a little ugly (maybe animate them more?)
    • Error Messages should be made nice (NO HTML DIRECTLY in error message)
    • Sizing of interface parts (e.g. german labels do not fit)
    • Keyboards should be consistently controllable using keyboard
    • !! Make it possible to trigger actions from within content area via API (and ViewHelper)
    • SVG icons

  • "Node Type Templates"?
