Allow rearrangement of UI elements #8773
Comments
Entry editor on the right might be especially useful in combination with #6857. |

This would IMHO lead to a complete rewrite of the JabRef UI. Brave persons could look into Eclipse RCP. Other UI frameworks seem to be outdated (see the links at https://stackoverflow.com/a/2381696/873282) or not that flexible (Jetbrains IDE) or web based (that's what we are aiming for with JabRef-online). |
Actually, web based might not be that bad, if you look at VS Code for example. It can be executed both locally and in a web browser. That way, development efforts of JabRef and JabRef-online could be shared. However, I assume that it currently might not be an ideal decision and that other frameworks are favorable. |
Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
From Visual Studio Code (and other applications), I am used to easy rearrangement of UI elements, ideally by drag and drop. This would be a nice feature, especially for large screens. Personally, I am mostly thinking about the entry editor, which for me would probably be more usable on the right (compared to below the entries). This is how I know it from Citavi.
Describe the solution you'd like
As written above, drag and drop rearrangement, possibly also some adjustments of the UI of the rearranged items.
