Feature requests for Outline tool window #5896
Description
Currently, IntelliJ-Flutter-Outline through the "Toolbar", only:
a) "wrap" elements using: Center, Row, Column, Padding, Container;
b) Remove Widgets;
c) Move Up/Down widgets in the WidgetTree;
d) Show the widget-properties (it is AWESOME!)
My suggestion is:
a) Insert in Toolbar, more widgets, specially "Layout Widgets";
b) Allow Flutter Outline, not only, wrap/remove widgets, but also "create" them, in the specific position of the CodeEditor/Widget Tree;
Nowadays, there is a "lack" of an UI-Oriented-tool in IDEs, that would help in the manipulation/selection/use of widgets:
a) Everything(Widgets) should be typed and it decreases the productivity, specially, for beginners;
b) The developers should have a considerable knowledge of the existents widgets, in other words, if they do not know some widget which could be works in some part of their code, there is no place, in the IDE, to find possible candidates for that. Currently, the devs have to find it, in Internet-Google research(it takes time)
About the Flutter-Outline Widget-Properties:
a) Nowadays, we have the property, for instance padding (see the attached-image, as example);
b) But, it should be great, if we have more than that, meaning, if we have the "suggestions" to fill the property, For Example:
b.1) Padding: SUGGESTION EdgeInsets.only(left:10)
Therefore, IntelliJ-Flutter-Outline is a wonderful place, to have more widgets and to allow "add" this widgets in the code-editor, and suggestions to fill the properties.
