Navigator panel resizable

At a glance

The post suggests that the navigator panel should be resizable, similar to web developer tools, when dealing with many nested items. The comments indicate that the community members have implemented a left/right scroll for the navigator panel, which helps mitigate the issue. However, some community members express a desire for the panel itself to be resizable. While the side scroll is considered a tolerable workaround, a few community members suggest that resizing the panel would be appreciated. One community member notes that the style panel may not be easily resizable due to its complex layout. Overall, the community members discuss the need for a resizable navigator panel, but there is no explicitly marked answer.

If you start getting many nested items, the navigator panel has a left/right scroll. Could the panel itself be resizable? Like any browser, web developer tools when you have the panels on the side.

yeah, just didn't do it yet, send screenshots, curios how bad it is
JJeremy
You guys did build the left/right scroll, so I can slide over to see the needed elements.

It's been more noticeable now that I'm playing with the collections feature and have deep nesting. This isn't a but or anything.

that's quite a tree
JJeremy
I actually built it off one of Alex's demo projects. I have a couple nested collections in there as well so I can handle arrays. I don't think I have many elements that aren't needed.

sounds like resizing is needed heavily
JJeremy
It would be appreciated, but the side scroll is tolerable as a work around. I'm sure you guys have more pressing issues.

Would be nice to have ability to resize both sides panels.

style panel isn't gonna be resizable 100%, its has super complicated layout that is very hard to make resizable

Any update here regarding resizable navigator? 😄
JJeremy
@szilardm8, I was the original request of this and have completely forgotten about it. Someone recommended that I simply press shift when I scroll and I can horizontaly scroll. It's become second nature and is fast. Maybe this will work for you as well?
sszilardm8
It could work, for sure if your request won't be fulfilled. Thank you for the hint! 😄
JJeremy
It might be? Personally I see them developing other features/requests and those are often greater benefits to me than this request. Maybe in time, they will add this too?
OOleg Isonen
definitely thinking about it often
OOleg Isonen
other things took priority for now

Nice trick, I had the same problem

Is this request still low priority? It's the first thing I tried to do when I started using webstudio, I feel like it's habit from other web builders.
OOleg Isonen
its not low priority but we still have higher priority issues
JJeremy
Start pressing shift when you scroll and you won't even notice! I now us that commonly in applications and browsers; it's a huge help.
TTung
Yeah saw the tip you gave, I need to learn to do it 🙂
