[IMPROVE] Add feature flag that pins the menu to the top

Open JerBouma opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What's the feature that should be improved? Why do I need to keep typing ? to see how menus change when I input more information? Why isn't the menu pinned all the time? It could be that this doesn't leave room for the user to see the commands but we can answer this question with a feature flag enabling this.

Describe how you would like the feature improved I'd like the ability to have the menu pinned as follows:

With only if I scroll down will the menu disappear (in case tables are too large). Any changes I make that would change the menu will directly be reflected. E.g. when I load a stock in stocks you will see the stock, company, exchange and currency filled in as well as some additional menus turning blue.

This is an experimental feature meaning the feature flag should be off by default. However, we can play around with this and experience if this is something that could be of interest to users. This request also came directly from the Survey.

Possibly describe the ideal way to improve this Similar to the method used of the bottom bar, it should always be displayed.
