I just enlightened myself realising that the names on the top of the VL editor are actually tabs and I can navigate between them by left-clicking them. I thought this part of the UI was some kind of breadcrumb element. And until now I was wondering where all those previously opened documents were gone when opening another one. I’m relieved to know that these things are only tabs and not something else I haven’t understood yet.
TBH, I’m finding the current super minimalist design of the VL editor hard to understand and often confusing. At the moment it is rather non-explanatory.
Is this still under development or intended? Have you user-tested the designs?
I would love to see the UI closer to very well established UI patterns. E.g. the current layout of the tabs could be improved by dividers between the tab names and a clear highlight of the current tab in my opinion. Generally, in VL, it’s unclear if the UI elements are global for VL or if they belong to the current document. Some visual dividers like lines or different variations of the elements background color (even another grey tone would work) would help a lot I think.
Thanks.
