The one thing UI 3.0 couldn't solve. Wen horizontal scroll in layers panel? Anyone have any workarounds for viewing/selecting deep layers like this other than expanding the sidebar?

> "Your file must have a ton of nested layers. Why is that?"
Working quickly and messily through some design exploration.

Typically a `⌘ + click` is the fastest way to get to a specific element, but when I'm trying to grab a group one or two layers up with tight padding/no fill it's easier to go to the layers panel. ALSO helps make visual sense of how some legacy components are built to unnecessary layers (so many unnecessary layers).

I see you are talking deeep, deep layers. I rarely select in the layers in the panel unless I’m typing to search by name, or selecting multiple warppers/containers that wouldn't be that deep. I do more 'element' layer selecting with mouse clicks + mods in the designs themselves. For me, ⌘ + 'click' drills down to the deepest component and I use  ⌘ + 'shift' + 'click' to grab multiple elements but not their containers. 

As far as viewing/inspecting them in the sidebar, without actually expanding it, I got nothing.

this. every single time I try to unhide a nested icon
