2.8 Proposal - Autofit UI

  • Instead of grabbing the window's edge to increase width, mouse cursor hover plus shortcut (Z) over general space to insta-fit.
  • Design for INSTANT readability & placing less attention on mouse accuracy by refraining from manually hovering over window's edge/click drag.
  • This offers a very fast way to view no text cutoff for immediate legibility.
  • Faster, no guesstimating playing with the UI's edge if you want to view everything with no element cutoffs.

Additional:

  • Doesn't affect the display scale just fits everything width wise.
  • Doesn't open or close panels but resizes to fit everything without text/UI deprecation.
  • Depending on how a user set's up their interface, this can affect other editor's size.
  • This example is just showcasing the "Properties Editor" since this function would be frequently used here.
  • In the case of accidental mis-clicking shortcut in an editor you don't want the Autofit to affect, have a preference setting to disable it in specific editors.

I believe for the majority of panels, it would make them larger than people would actually like, leaving too little space for the main editor.
