How about trying to change it to TreeWidget instead ? This will be a good demo on how/whether we want the source view to be a tree or not and also would reduce the future conversion from SideMenuWidget to TreeWidget (if there is a decision...)

What say ?

We were thinking about keeping the @media sidebar open all the time. What if we did that by having the elements in the @media sidebar as children of the stylesheet?

In addition to saving space, this would also allow us to show the @media rules in several stylesheets at the same time.

Well, that would make the sidebar more cluttered, especially when we have lots of space free in the content area.

Apart from Comment 2 usage, I don't see how the TreeWidget is more appropriate. 
The TreeWidget could be appropriate if we combine the Debugger, the Style Editor and Itchpad into one tool though.

I think I must have made this block 1493094 by mistake. This has nothing to do with WebCompat.
