In Board's layout axis configuration, removing multiple entities from an axis can be cumbersome due to the inconsistent positioning of the "X" button used for removal.

Current Issue:

  • The "X" button is located on the far right of each entity. Its position shifts based on the length of the entity's name, making it tedious to remove entities one by one.

Proposed Solution:

  • Align the "X" button consistently on the left side, just before each entity name. This adjustment would allow developers to quickly remove entities by clicking the "X" in the same position for each one, eliminating the need to adjust for varying button placements.

Impact:

  • While this may seem like a small adjustment, it would be a significant time-saver when modifying layouts. For instance, when developers need to analyze data by focusing on a single entity, they often find themselves removing several entities from an axis and replacing them with just one.

This improvement would help reduce repetitive actions, making layout customization more efficient and streamlined.
