A nice QoL improvement.
Great idea! This would make life with the grid builder so much easier.
I’ve had some complex grid layouts with overlapping content in the past where I had to type in the coordinates manually.
We need this one Charlie!
Exactly!
I like it. I’m not sure what that negative numbers are doing or trying to show though in that picture? Is that just a sample mockup and can be ignored?
Hi @charlie, the negatives are useful if we want to do a span 2 from the right for instance. we could x start span 2 x end -2. I use things like this to bump your cell 2 example into the main content area on a grid that is full width ie minmax(6%, 1fr) repeat(14, minmax(auto, 100px)) minmax(6%, 1fr)
I’m probably revealing my lack of grid knowledge here. Why does it only have the -1 on the right, but -1 through -6 on the bottom?
I’m no grid master either and wasn’t aware you could do this until recently. This article explains negative grid lines quite well.
Hi @charlie
you are right about the -1 in the top right.
to be clearer, the negative numbers start on the right and move left, or start at the bottom and move up.
