Currently, it takes a lot of trial and error to see which Material would be best for a certain Part, or which Font would look best for a TextLabel.

Reflecting changes that would be made while hovering over properties would reduce the time & clicks it takes during this trial and error stage.

Currently, this is only possible with properties related to colors.

If this change were implemented, the Material for the Part in the GIF below would mirror the Material that the cursor is hovering over.

It would also update the Font for the TextLabel below.

And hopefully it would also cater to any other properties that I may be missing. Thank you for taking your time to read my suggestion! :slight_smile:

You can use use the arrow keys on your keyboard to cursor through Enum dropdowns without using the mouse. The only downside is having to move your hand to a weird place on your keyboard.

While that is true, this suggestion would provide a better quality of life improvement. The goal of the suggestion was to prevent clicks and easily preview only the values you wish to view. With your suggested method, the preview is only linear and still provides more input than simply hovering your mouse.

The original value is also does not revert to the previous value if you wish to cancel. This would be done by simply clicking anywhere outside of the dropdown menu.
