Looks good indeed, but I can feel your pain about coherency between text and 3DView. I guess that the worse is for metas that are somehow linked to following parts such as BFC INVERTNEXT (not so annoying here since you don't make a parts editor) or GROUP metas.
As one of the purpose of text view is to manage stepping, I think it would be nice to somehow highlight in text view the current step as shown in 3D (and update that field in 3D view if more 0 STEP are added or deleted in text). Another concern is ROTSTEP meta - how to make this convenient?
The detachable bins look great too - Beeing able to overlap them partially to keep consumed screen area down looks interesting (but needs to be tested to see if it's pactical
Quote:I'm just not sure how to handle lines which can't be selected in the 3D viewI feel that text view selection is a superset of 3D view selection, as you can add more things to selection in text (but not the opposite).
