Driver settings

  1. Expression textbox in driver settings is very small and it’s hard to edit large expressions, adding option to expand the driver settings or add multiline expression view would help.

  2. Sometimes you need to write down expression and then spend some time tuning it after playing shape keys and etc. Option to pin driver settings would help.

  3. Currently driver expression is limited to 256 symbols (⚓ T47896 The length of scripted expression strings is limited to 256 characters.). Is it some design choice to focus users on smaller expressions or there is some memory limitation? I think currently it won’t stop users from writing long expressions - to accomplish that you just need to setup couple custom properties and connect them with drivers. So is there any point of this limitation?

What do you think?
