Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a user wants to display or edit the settings of a node, he or she must double-click the node in order to open a new window showing the settings json editor. This has following drawbacks:

  • A new user does not know that a double click onto the node will open the settings editor. So the feature is hidden.
  • It requires the user to perform an additional step. This can get inconvenient if the user wants to quickly check the settings of multiple nodes. So this slows down working with the editor.

Describe the solution you'd like
The settings editor shall be integrated into the main window in the bottom right corner and always show the settings of the currently selected node. If no node is selected, it shows nothing. If multiple nods are selected, it shows no settings but the information that multiple nodes are selected or something similarly useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Displaying the settings right in the node with a dropdown. I find this kinda ugly though.
