Double clicking on a pattern in zoomed out view should go into focus mode

On the zoomed out view, double clicking on a pattern should probably get you into the focused template part mode to edit.

@richtabor @jeryj any ideas on how this can work with the keyboard? Should we have a focus button in the new toolbar (the one that will exist vertically in zoom out)?

Should we have a focus button

I'd think either an edit button or make the current pattern a tabstop on the page an aria-labelled edit pattern button. Or both. In general, the UX is better when there's a visible and labelled button, so a dedicated edit button on the toolbar will likely make it easier for everyone to understand.

It'll be a delicate balance navigating in and out of zoom out, without focus mode in there as well. I think as we explore interactions to flow between those views, we may find ways to go "deeper" another level, focusing on a specific pattern. But I'd consider that a secondary effort.

That saying, if we can select template parts in zoom out, we can just use the existing "Edit" button, we already have (for template parts):

Will this button be in the incoming vertical toolbar to be tried (as the original assembler mockup shows)?

@richtabor this will only work for partially / synced patterns as the others don't have their id saved so there is nothing to focus? Would having this in - out UX available for parts of the layout and not for others be nice?

I think we don't want to do this anymore, and instead double clicking zooms back in. I think it might still be good to provide a way to edit in focus mode, but it might be in addition to zooming in.
