Toggle to display layers/masks as a list of names instead of numbers

[sirdigbot]

While it's nice that layers can be named, its clunky to have to hover over each layer to see its name. Especially when you're actually using a lot of the layers (imagine having to wait to search through each of the 32 layers...painful).
It's also a little clunky to have to go to a separate menu to rename them.

What I suggest is a toggle to switch between displaying as numbers, and displaying as names which are editable in-place with a double click or right click (I don't know UX, whichever's better).

Additionally, though it might be harder or impossible to implement, having the list of names display mode be empty by default and having an add button would also be more sensible--instead of always displaying unused layers. The numeric display mode could stay as it is though if the 1-click convenience is a priority.

This would need to be checked against the other nodes that use it since I only checked if it makes sense for the CollisionObject3D collision layers/mask. But not for stuff like the Cull Mask for the Camera3D, or any other node that might use the same UI.

Here's my mockup:

Forgot to show what the collapse/hide arrow would do but I think it should work more or less the same.

Not sure if you noticed, but did you press the button with the three dots on the right?
But being able to toggle permanently would definitely be nice too.

I hadn't actually, thank you.
Wont close the discussion though because I think thats a clear example of why this section of UI needs to be tweaked. All the information is already there its just a bit messy right now for no reason.

I also think that having the bitflag input as the default is a very programmer-y way to do UI.
