[sidebar] No sidebar in Math module
Last modified: 2024-01-12 22:37:00 UTC
Currently the Math module has no sidebar. But I think, that it would benefit from a sidebar. Such sidebar should contain a deck for "Elements", a deck for "Symbols", and a deck for "Spacing".
Sidebar for Math would definitively improve usability.
Only a complete overhaul of the UI would improve usability. The use of binding Symbols to a special font – i.e. greek letters – is obsolete with unicode. Two different ways of inserting symbols (sidebar/modal window) is confusing.
