Elastic Segmented Control
Compact product modes with radio semantics and arrow-key selection.
Independent value-selection semantics; Fluid Tabs owns navigation between panels.

Media inspection, tactile form controls, lightweight data interaction and anchored contextual surfaces—without replacing native semantics or pulling in a platform-sized dependency.

Compact product modes with radio semantics and arrow-key selection.
Independent value-selection semantics; Fluid Tabs owns navigation between panels.
Selected: photo
A short labeled listbox with arrows, Enter, Escape and typeahead.
A native precision control with a quiet spring thumb and visible value.
Select local image files and validate them—no fake backend upload claim.
Reserved for a rare consequential action; early release cancels.
A profile value becomes a focused editor; Enter saves and Escape cancels.
Use Inline Edit Field for the complete product field; this route keeps the focused morph composition.
Profile
Display name
The value, help text and save path stay attached to one product field.
Workspace name
Shown to collaborators in the workspace switcher.
A compact intent trigger opens a focused query without sending the user to another page.
Invalid, correcting and valid are readable states with the field still in place.
A local example; no request is sent.
Completed sections condense into context while the next useful decision opens.

04 · Composition & editing
These systems keep the original field, the next decision and the editing context close together.
A compact value surface becomes a focused editor without losing its source identity.
A one-line prompt grows into a multiline editing surface with attached tools.
Confirmed values wrap as real tokens while the next value remains ready to type.
Press Enter or comma to keep a value. Backspace removes the previous token.
Property, operator and value stay coordinated as one compact condition authoring surface.
Typed text stays raw until a visible suggestion is explicitly accepted.
A suggestion is proposed, never silently substituted.
Slash commands become removable content tokens instead of opening a navigation palette.
Commands become visible tokens inside the composition, separate from navigation commands.
05 · Context & validation
Choosing shipping reveals the address fields in the same document flow.
One property at a time becomes an editor while the object context remains stable.
Select a phrase in the note to reveal formatting tools attached to that selection.
Handoff note
Select text to reveal the attached tools. No floating editor is created outside the field.
06 · Adjustable values
Drag the bounded surface or type a precise number; both paths update the same unit value.
Two endpoints share one track and remain ordered while either value changes.
One date value is entered through three labelled, keyboard-connected segments.
