Repository view - Add button - Add element anywhere

[sixdouglas]

On a Repository, when I click on the Add button above the query text zone, would it be possible to add the element either at the end, at the begining or even better near the current cursor position but outside the XML element? For example, let say we have this in the query text zone:

<add-item item-descriptor="store" id="0070075800758">
  <set-property name="parentDeliveryZone"><![CDATA[dz24_shanghai_shi]]></set-property>
</add-item>
<query-items item-descriptor="store" id-only="false">
  parentDeliveryZone = "dz24_shanghai_shi"
</query-items>

And I want to add this:

<print-item id="0070075800758" item-descriptor="store" />

It would be nice to add it:

---- HERE
<add-item item-descriptor="store" id="0070075800758">
  <set-property name="parentDeliveryZone"><![CDATA[dz24_shanghai_shi]]></set-property>
</add-item>
---- HERE
<query-items item-descriptor="store" id-only="false">
  parentDeliveryZone = "dz24_shanghai_shi"
</query-items>
---- HERE

but not:

<add-item item-descriptor="store" id="0070075800758">
  ---- NOT HERE
  <set-property name="parentDeliveryZone"><![CDATA[dz24_shanghai_shi]]></set-property>
  ---- NOT HERE
</add-item>
<query-items item-descriptor="store" id-only="false">
  ---- NOT HERE
  parentDeliveryZone = "dz24_shanghai_shi"
  ---- NOT HERE
</query-items>

A quick win would be to always insert at the end, instead of at the cursor position. Inserting outside the current tag would be a bit tricky and not that usefull I think. Or maybe have both "insert before" and "insert after" buttons, but in that case would would wait the UX enhancement i think.

After retesting a bit, the insert is done nearest cursor position; it won't insert inside a tag, but between.

like:

<a>
<new>
</b>
<new>

but not <a <new>>

So placing the cursor better should solve the issue, do you agree?
