Add affordance to indicate users can navigate to attached value blocks #104

Description

During user testing, it was noted in many cases that, even after discovering that they could use the right arrow key to navigate from a block to the first value input on that block, users would frequently fail to realised that they could use the right arrow key to navigate to the attached block. This frequently resulted in the user placing the marker instead of (as desired) opening the colour picker.

It was suggested that we should provide some kind of affordance to make it clear that they can navigate further. Ideas mooted included:

  • Some kind of tooltip or other pop-up hint ("keep going ->"?).
    • Display of such hints could be disabled once the user had successfully navigated to an attached block.
  • Having the enter key open a pop-up menu with options including "replace attached block" (i.e., marker workflow) and "edit attached block".

This is especially important for inputs with simple reporter shadow blocks, which (in the zelos renderer) look quite like ordinary fields.
