+### Explicit save in component editor
+Currently any change in the component detail panel (linking a file, unlinking an
+inventory entry, etc.) is persisted immediately. This makes it hard to experiment or

+changes locally until confirmed. Relates to the broader question of whether live

 When adding a field to a component in the edit dialog, the dropdown becomes

+#### Keyboard shortcut for adding a field
+When filling out many fields on a component, repeatedly reaching for the mouse to

+focus/trigger the add-field selector from anywhere in the component editor.

 #### Parametric search
 Allow searching/filtering components by field values, not just names. Examples:

 Similar to how components now reflect `/components/:id` in the URL, inventory

+When picking a storage location for a component, show a list of recently
+used/visited locations at the top so you can quickly re-select where you just were.
+Useful when processing a batch of components into the same storage location — you
+shouldn't have to navigate the grid picker from scratch each time.
