Scene Explorer and Inspector enhancements

Hi! I would like to propose and implement some enhancements to the Scene Explorer and to the Inspector:

  1. Pin this area in the Scene Explorer to the top so it never scrolls away and add keyboard shortcuts as well.

  2. Add the possibility to filter by Tags

  3. Display the Tags in the GENERAL area. This can be easily added by code and not everyone is using Tags, so I’m not sure whether this one is really needed.

  4. Automatically stretch the inputs:

    like this:

  5. Copy the current values to the clipboard as a Vector3 using a button.

  6. I find the default font too big and maybe we could have a font size switch here. I think one toggle button will be enough to toggle the default font and the small font.

  7. Add a “focus on” button here: (like the full stop key in Blender) The Bounding box is unfortunatelly not helping when the object is too far from the camera. This should put the camera into debug mode and ignore all limits set on the camera.

What are your thoughts about this guys?

Thank you!

Adding @PatrickRyan, @PirateJC for the design part and @msDestiny14 for the tooling side :slight_smile:

We’ll definitely need @PatrickRyan’s input on this one as he’s the keeper of our UX/UI!

I for one am always open to feedback for our tooling!

I’d be glad to implement some of these after a quick design review by our awesome Patrick!
