Some good feedback here and in the thread overall.
I also use a 3-way horizontal split these days for editing, I've found that the wider our screens get the less I use the edges. So now often I'll keep the left focused on the headers to variable definition, the middle for the main editor and the right for methods where the middle is calling or being called by something.
In Visual Studio you don't have to dock windows, but the current generation of floating window doesn't really conform to what I want. Someone else mentioned Haystack which I haven't seen before:
https://haystackeditor.com/ https://haystackeditor.com/
I quite like the layout of Haystack, although I don't think one wants to take it too far such that it begins to resemble visual scripting. I think a block based approach where you have different blocks for the different types such as classes, variables and code might be worth exploring.
I'll definitely post back sometime with feedback on whether I've come up with anything interesting.
- jerf 2y agoI hope you do. I know it's easy to just crap on someone's ideas, but I'm really trying not to do that. I think it's a great idea to learn from what came before, because if anything's going to succeed it is almost certainly going to be at least a little different than what someone else tried. Sometimes it can be the smallest difference that decides the matter. I wish you the best of luck in your explorations.
