Make debugging toolbar accessible at all times

Instead of this:

Consider this:

This would allow us to step through while monitoring output of other tabs. It would also reduce a significant amount of annoyance when you go to step through but the tab selections changed on you. It takes your brain a second to situate each time that happens. It's such a prominently used feature that it deserves a permanent place in our lives.

This makes sense, considering the bottom panel that regroups all these tabs is already called Debugger.

However, you won't always have the horizontal space to display the buttons at the right of all the tabs. We need to figure out a different location for them. Putting them above the tabs is probably not ideal, given it reduces the vertical screen real estate available for the 2D/3D/script main screens.

Not strongly fighting for this one location but you would always have the real estate given the tabs already have overflow built in. [image: image.png]

Alternatively, you could add/move it to the bottom. This would allow you to collapse the entire pane as well which seems useful but remains to be seen. People will certainly freak out if we move it so instancing it and hiding it by default behind a feature toggle could work. We could quietly test it in a few places at once actually.

Maybe you could put them in a vertical bar on the right?
