[Feature Request]: Tables in mobile view should scroll horizontal

[nickdollimount]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What is your feature request?

Currently while in mobile view, tables cut off columns to fit. It would be awesome to have them enable horizontal scrolling instead so the rest of the columns are still visible.

Thank you for the feature request!

If I do this, I will have to make it optional, because I specifically designed the collapsing table columns thing. It took me MONTHS:

https://github.com/pixlcore/xyops/blob/main/htdocs/css/responsive.css

That file is almost entirely filled with special table column collapse rules, for all the various mobile breakpoints across all the tables in the app.

I did it this way because horizontally scrolling tables are really an "anti-pattern" for web apps. It's a terrible user experience.

However, I concede that collapsing columns aren't great either. I chose what I thought was the lesser of two evils 😊

However, maybe I can do it in such a way that it's opt-in from the user prefs screen?

I will ponder this...
