Allow tab switching when the expression editor is opened
Not plannedSometimes I want to copy things in the expression editor from one workflow to another. For me this involves these steps:
- Open expression editor in workflow 1
- Copy some text
- Close the expression editor in workflow 1
- Switch to workflow 2
- Open expression editor in workflow 2
- Paste the copied some text
- Realize I need to copy other text from workflow 1
- Close the expression editor in workflow 2
- Switch to workflow 1
- Repeat steps 1‒9
It would help a lot if the expression editor could stay open while switching between workflows, is this feasible?

You could still copy/paste from one input to another, just not when it's open as a modal.
When switching tabs, the designer remembers what activity was selected in the previous tab, so switching between workflow 1 and workflow 2 shouldn't be too bad

My main issue is opening and closing of the input editor. To open it, I need to move my mouse across the screen from the tabs to find the
button. Closing can be done by pressing Esc, but there's an annoying 1 second delay before the editor is closed, which breaks my flow.
I realize these are just minor issues, but maybe they can be fixed without too much effort

The biggest challenge I see here is that the dialog is currently modal. To allow access to the tabs, it'd need to not be modal any more. Then we'd need to consider what other random things a user might try to do while it's open.
