[ISSUE] UX issues when code editing (v2)

Issues:

• Clicking on the code preview doesn’t go to the code editor. You have to click “Edit”, wait for the UI to load and then select the “Code” dropdown.

• After you copy and paste something within the editor (ctrl + c, ctrl + v) the undo functionality stops working (ctrl + z)

• Editor doesn’t remember if you’ve chosen to hide the “Configuration” sidebar where you set props’ values. Each time you visit the editor, it will appear again, taking much of the editing space.

• Same issue when testing a code step: it will always default to the “Exports” tab even though you selected “Logs” the previous time.

• I would appreciate an option to show the latest events in a sidebar while in the code editor. Rather than “Three dot menu” > “Inspector” each time.

• Clicking the “Deploy” button interrupts the flow as it exits the code editor. This coding flow becomes impossible: Make a change to the code > Deploy > Test live workflow externally > Make a change to the code > …

Two further notes on the “undo” behavior:

• The undo behavior in v1 was more granular: typing two words separated by a space and hitting “undo” would remove only the second word. In v2 multiple lines may be removed after hitting undo, which can be confusing (I’d rather hit undo multiple times than retype what got deleted)
• On long code steps, the “undo” notification scrolls the window to the top, which makes it harder to find my place again

@huzaifah-esm Thank you for all the feedback! We are working on some of these items now (e.g. better Undo behavior), and I shared all of this with the team.
