Open Question: Showing information in the editor (or not?)

agrignard opened this issue · 1 comments

I know the information in the text editor can be a useful feature but the way it works is in my opinion strange.

  1. As soon as you start to write a line unless your line is finished and compile the information disapears for a while and the hole text on the top is moving which in my opinion make it very difficult to concentrate as shown below:

Untitled mov

  1. Having some text in your text editor than cannot be copy/paste and take one "pseudo line" might be also conter intuitive

  1. Hard to differentiate comment form information too

I know it's a question fo choice and can be set in the preferences however most of the user will keep the default settings and might be annoyed by this.

What about settings those parameters to false by default ?

Trade off proposal: What about keeping only the thumbnails on the left side of the screen ? By default the information/warning are still here if needed but does not impact the editor by adding new "lines" in your code and make it moves (like in may other editors actually)?

Instead of having both thumbnails for the same information
