desolve container keep content

16

As a UX'r a lot of my time consists of refactoring css and mendix models.

A lot of times there are an exesive amount of containers around elements which means I have to pick up every item and drag it on to a container higher in the hirearchy, and then delete the remaing containers.

If i could just delete the container itself and keep the content that would save me a lot of trouble :D

@jean, I totally agree.

With great power comes great responsability :D

I’m thinking that it is quite tricky to give this option while it is not always very visible whether a container is providing additional styling, either by classes or by inline styling.

It might be good to warn developers when dissolving a container that contains one or multiple classes, inline styling or even a visibility rule, just to make sure that containers that actually contribute to GUI dont get dissolved by accident.

It would be even better to show styles by default.

Feels a bit like the “Extract snippet” function and I like it. Great idea!

with a quick key would be nice too

Shift+delete or alt+delete
