Currently Blockly only has comments on blocks, which can be created through the right-click menu on a block.
Scratch has comments on the workspace and on blocks. Comments can be dragged between blocks and the workspace. We want the same thing.
The comments branch has some initial work here: workspace comments that can be freely dragged around the workspace.
More work we need to do:
readonly
events
RTL
scaling/scrolling
block comments using new comment object
workspace options: disabling comments
dragging workspace comments to blocks
dragging block comments to the workspace
resize
delete (Workspace comments: deletion #1662
collapse
IE decisions
selected state (how does that interact with Blockly.selected?)
workspace comments in generators
clean up dragging code/combine with block dragging code
highlighting/unhighlighting
disallowing comments in the flyout (may be based on workspace options)
testing:
id conflict
creation
lookup
deletion
XML cycle
code cleanup!
Current plan is to:
try to use the new comment object for block comments but not be able to drag between blocks and the workspace
clean up dragging
merge that into blockly
then add dragging from blocks to workspace and back.
