feature: mouse support (clickable headers)

Did you check the docs?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes, when I'm debugging a UI, I have to use the mouse, and if I just want to take a brief look at some value, I need to go back to the keyboard.

If I go down this road, just having a clickable resume button would be perfect as it would allow an easier workflow UI > breakpoint reached > check value > resume.

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to add mouse support on the header?

I don't really have any, but I am open to any

I'm glad you liked it!

Just to be clear: you want some sort of menu, to control the session using the mouse, similar to nvim-dap-ui (screenshot below)?

Hello 👋🏼

If this is possible, yes.
That's really not a blocker to me but that would be very useful for UI debugging.

But this is the bonus (maybe I should make a separate ticket for it), the first point was to be able to click the section title (like [S]copes, [W]atches...) to switch.

Having both would be a major improvement for this use case.

That's doable. We just need to set up some click handlers when building the 'winbar' expression, which would then hook into the newly added jump_to_view method. I'm not against that, but it won't be a priority. You're welcome to open a PR. In fact, you can take a look at how nvim-dap-ui implements its menu to check the syntax for the click handlers.

But yeah, nvim-dap-ui uses the 'winbar' option exclusively for the menu, but since we are already using it for showing the views, I can't think of a nice alternative to have a pure-menu bar here. Any ideas?

I saw the related commits, thanks (I am using the scopes branch, but you seem to have rebased on it 👌🏼)

Anyway, I'll be glad to try implementing this.
For the action widget, my idea is to stick to the winbar approach and allow having it at the start or the end of the winbar, so before or after the tab.
I need to start to have a more precise view of what is possible or not.
