Screen shot showing a proposed perspective layout

With the introduction of the code snippet view, as tracked by Bug 494288, the need for a specific Papyrus-RT perspective with an adjusted layout is needed.

One of the fundamental aspects of the separate code snippet view is that is shall be possible to have the properties view and the code snippet view visible at the same time, i.e. they probably need to be located in different "view stacks".

In the attached screen shot, there is a proposed layout, based on the corresponding layout used in the legacy tooling. The proposal uses the new Documentation view available in the Oyxygen version of base Papyrus. This is also a separate view, very similar to the code snippet view.

So layout keeps the properties view and the code snippet view (examplified with the Documentation view) is kept in two "view stacks" at the bottom. The outline view, earlier in the left bottom corner is moved to the right of the editor area (as it is in the legacy tooling's layout).

The details can of course be further elaborated, but the core aspect of this proposal is two separate "view stacks" where the properties view is shown next to the code snippet view. Exactly which views goes into which of these two stacks can probably be tweaked if needed.

When we get improved integration with CDT and support for generating problem markers in model for code-generation/compilation faults, it probably needs to be elaborated if the standard problems view shall be include by default as well (as it is in the legacy tooling).
