Custom the Info Pane

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to customize the information pane. As it stands, the information density feels too sparse. Here are a couple of examples:

1. In my field, it's common for papers to have 10, 20 authors, with the last author typically being the principal investigator. However, to see the last author, I need to expand the author list. Each author occupies a new line, so with 20 authors, there are 20 lines, which then pushes the abstract field out of sight.

2. Some fields like Archive, Loc. in Archive, Call Number, etc., are always empty in my Zotero library. While these fields may be important for other users, is there a way to hide them?

3. Similarly, fields like Date Added and Modified provide useful information, but I don't need to see them when focusing solely on the essential information of the reference.

An example of a more condensed info panel is the one in the Readcube Papers app:

I understand that the current design allows easy viewing and editing of reference information within the same view. However, since Zotero's web clipping function is so efficient, I rarely need to manually edit entries. Perhaps separating the viewing and editing functions could lead to a design that offers a much more condensed view.

By the way, I love the new sidebar — it's very neat! Thank you.
