Web Inspector: Adding mouse hover gesture on "Show navigator" button on Sources panel

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Currently the "Show Navigator" is not pinned by default. So the "Scripts" pane is hidden. So now as a developer, if he wants to open multiple files, he needs to click the Navigator button again and select a file. As soon as he selects a file, the file is opened as a new tab and the navigator is closed. It would be a nice addition to the existing click action, to have the hover effect to show the navigator again and open another file.

I would like to hear the feedback from the forum before i proceed with the implementation.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to implement this.
Whoever needs to open several files can dock navigator and click is also not something that takes too much time.
Most importantly the recommended workflow would be to use Ctrl/Cmd+O "Go to source" shortcut instead.

I agree with what you say. But on smaller displays with limited real estate, docking a navigator would consume screen space. In such a case having this hover action would be useful.

Yeah its really a nice feature. Again, the above feature is just an usability improvement to quickly open the files without typing as it would be required with Ctrl/Cmd+O.
