Move "variables" to top level

[mark-epstein]

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

• I believe this to be a feature for companion, not a module

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the feature

"Variables" would become a top-level menu choice like "Connections," "Buttons," etc.

Usecases

Variables apply to more things than just buttons, namely triggers and log entries. It doesn't seem right that the variables are 'buried' in the button section.

@mark-epstein take a look at the tree layout in #2387
That is what we plan for the future, would that solve your request?

Wow that's a lot to read! I will give a preliminary answer so you don't think I'm ignoring you but it's going to take me several days at least - I can only dedicate a little bit of time each day to this hobby - to read through the post and all the comments. I do very much like what you've done with the menus except please give the top level icons and a way to collapse them down to just the icons. Real estate is particularly valuable and I never seem to have enough But I don't think this quite answers my feature request. I see the variables associated with the Atem are under that menu item and that's excellent, but I was aiming for having custom variables at a top level, or at least not buried under "buttons" because custom variables apply in other places. Also I'd prefer if "favourite" were spelled "favorite" 😉 Just kidding of course, I'm perfectly content living with the language style of the person doing the work.
