Edit and View mode slider

[spoorun]

When Users are dealing with a lot of data, or are viewing contacts only and wary of making unintentional edits, it would be efficient and useful to have a view<>edit slider. It would save some users a lot of unnecessary grief (for example those who have difficulty with touch screens, those with limited keyboard ability, and those who are scared with IT and don't need to edit contacts regularly).

This would be a simple slider button, perhaps located in settings so users don't accidentally trigger it. Users are now used to the view/edit paradigms, with well-used conventions in software, webapps, and mobiles, including the pencil edit icon, so this change will be intuititive.

This change will be more graceful than the existing interface, since it will remove the clutter of fields and headers that are unnecessary the majority of the time (i.e. when contacts are merely being viewed rather than edited).

When in edit mode, all contacts will be immediately editable. When in view mode, a user will have to click an edit icon (standard pencil icon) to edit that contact, and empty fields would not be visible, nor would the wastebaskets.
