feat(core): inline text editing - #424
Conversation
…cuts in the inspector Double-clicking a text element now edits it in place: the element becomes contenteditable with the caret at the click point, and a floating toolbar offers font size, bold, italic, text color, and alignment. A text selection inside the element routes those styles through set-text-range-style; without one they apply to the whole element. Input is normalized (plain-text paste, <br> line breaks, IME-safe commits) and buffered through the existing optimistic pipeline. Elements can be dragged to reorder among their siblings. The overlay shows a blue insertion guide at the nearest valid slot (vertical or horizontal to match the container's flow); dropping flushes buffered edits, then applies a new move-element op that splices the JSX in source. When the dragged DOM node belongs to a component defined in the slide file, the server widens the move to the unique component invocation among the target siblings, so dragging an <Eyebrow>'s rendered div moves the <Eyebrow> call site. Moves are recorded in history with index-based undo/redo that survives HMR remounts. Undo/redo now also binds to Cmd/Ctrl+Z, Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+Z, and Ctrl+Y, with contenteditable hosts treated as typing targets so slide shortcuts stay out of the way while editing.

WalkthroughThe inspector now supports single-click inline text editing in plain view and double-click editing in inspect mode. It adds a floating formatting toolbar, removes drag-to-reorder flows, pauses slide navigation during editing, and synchronizes snapshots after buffered operations. ChangesInspector editing upgrades

barWidth, and the toolbar render path to store the mounted toolbar width in
state, initialize or refresh it after the ref attaches, and observe subsequent
size changes with ResizeObserver. Use the measured state value for edge clamping
so anchors near horizontal boundaries keep the toolbar fully inside the overlay.

calling setSel(null) when selectionTextOffsets(anchor) returns null; retain the
existing offsets.end > offsets.start check for valid selections so stale ranges

…drop reorder and undo shortcuts Double-click now starts inline editing directly in the normal slide view — no inspect mode, no panel. A standalone InlineEditLayer owns the double-click target picking, the editing outline, the floating text toolbar, and the click-outside/Escape exit; page navigation (wheel, tap, letter shortcuts) pauses while a text run is being edited. Inspect mode keeps working the same way on top of it. Removed per review: the drag-to-reorder feature (move-element op, widening resolution, drag overlay machinery, insertion guide) and the undo/redo keyboard shortcuts, restoring history-provider, edit-ops, and use-editor to their previous state.

Hovering an editable text run in the plain slide view now shows a text cursor, making double-click-to-edit discoverable. While a session is open, single-clicking another text run switches editing to it directly (caret at the click point, no word selection) instead of just exiting; clicking anything else still ends the session. Sessions are keyed by a counter so switching between two instances of a reused component remounts cleanly.

The cursor hint alone was easy to miss — hovering an editable text run in the plain slide view now also draws a light blue outline around it, Figma-style, so double-click-to-edit is visually discoverable. The editing state keeps its solid full-opacity outline for contrast. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QJWPqzuzNmNLFg1kZ19fRf
In the plain slide view a single click on a text run now starts editing directly, with the caret at the click point — the second click of a double-click lands on the already-editable element, so native word selection still works. Inspect mode keeps single-click-to-select and double-click-to-edit. The hover outline is also lightened to 50% opacity.

The hover outline transitions outline-color over 160ms through transient attribute states — 'in' lands on transparent without the transition (with it active, the stamp itself would animate away from the pre-hover outline-color) and flips to visible a frame later; leaving fades through 'out' before the attribute is removed, and re-entering mid-fade transitions straight back. The editing outline picks up a matching fade-in. Both respect prefers-reduced-motion.
