Description

#3453 is great but could use a few improvements:

  • adjust padding and styling slightly to more closely match graph view's version of the same
  • ability to click and select arguments and have them highlighted just like the standard function prototype
  • ability to copy/paste text from the header
  • disable in single function view
  • consider some way to quickly navigate to the top of the function using the sticky header

Research direction

Start with the implementation introduced by #3453 and compare the linear view sticky title bar with the graph view version. Check how the standard function prototype handles argument selection and how the header is rendered in single-function view. Done means the remaining checklist items—argument highlighting, copy/paste, and navigation to the function top—work without regressing the completed items.
