Description
This feature request proposes a refinement to the syntax used in Loopy Pro's trigger lists. The current format displays the action followed by a list of targets, such as "Assign Clip 1,2,3 PARAMETER." The suggested improvement is to prioritize the action or parameter at the beginning of the description, resulting in a format like "Assign PARAMETER - Clip 1, Clip 2, etc." This change aims to enhance readability and usability, especially when dealing with long lists of clips.
Problems
- Reduced Readability: When multiple clips are listed before the action, it becomes challenging to quickly identify the parameter being assigned, particularly in extensive lists.
- Inefficient Workflow: Users may need to read through lengthy clip lists before understanding the action, slowing down the workflow.
- Limited Screen Space: On devices with smaller screens, the current format may truncate important information, making it harder to discern the action being performed.
Proposed Solution
- Syntax Reordering: Modify the trigger list syntax to place the action or parameter at the beginning, followed by the list of targets. For example, change from "Assign Clip 1,2,3 PARAMETER" to "Assign PARAMETER - Clip 1, Clip 2, etc."
- Enhanced UI Design: Adjust the user interface to accommodate the new syntax format, ensuring that the action is prominently displayed and easily readable.
- Dynamic Formatting: Implement dynamic formatting that adapts to different screen sizes, maintaining clarity and readability across various devices.
Benefits
- Improved Clarity: Placing the action at the beginning of the trigger list makes it immediately clear what operation is being performed, enhancing user understanding.
- Faster Navigation: Users can quickly identify actions without having to parse through long lists of clips, streamlining the workflow.
- Better Adaptability: The new format is more adaptable to different screen sizes, ensuring consistent usability across devices.

I would like the screen to be wide enough to see what's actually going on. RIGHT NOW - it's guesswork
