Status bar icon disappears when disabling GitDoc, making it hard to re-enable #89
Description
Description:
Currently, clicking the status bar icon disables GitDoc, but once disabled, the icon itself disappears. This makes it difficult to re-enable GitDoc without navigating through other settings. A toggle where the button disappears after clicking is an anti-pattern and an odd UX.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Click the GitDoc status bar icon.
- GitDoc gets disabled, and the icon disappears.
- To re-enable GitDoc, you must go through the extension settings or command palette instead of simply clicking the icon again.
Proposed Solution:
- Instead of removing the status bar icon when GitDoc is disabled, change its appearance to indicate its inactive state.
- This can be shown whenever the GitDoc extension is installed, rather when GitDoc itself is enabled.
- Clicking the inactive icon should re-enable GitDoc, acting like a toggle.
- This gives better visibility of GitDoc and would reduce confusion about when GitDoc is enabled or not.
- Hovering over the GitDoc icon should also say whether it is enabled or not.
Additional Context:
This change would improve usability by making it easier to toggle GitDoc without hunting through settings.
Sidenote:
When I started using GitDoc, I was unaware of what the status bar icon looks like and wasn't sure what I was looking for so I'd recommend including an image of it in the README or extension description.
