Great idea! Someone please make this soon, as I just got my new Kia e-Niro 🙂 Need to do some work on the e-Niro-support.

> The controls are just a set of controls - things that bring up dialogs for more information or perform actions. Like start/stop RE, switch modes, manipulate DBC files, etc. Left justified in the frame, and perhaps 10% of the width. Height can dynamically adjust with the text content.

> The TABLE is a table. Probably 5 columns by many rows (anywhere from 20 to 200 or so). Either paged, scrolling, or just very tall. Paged is probably preferable. Would need a simple mechanism to dynamically add/update a row (identified by ‘key’ column and in sorted order), presumably using the web socket. Also need something to be able to dynamically clear the entire table. The RETOOLS code would use this to update the table in realtime (presumably over a web socket). It would be good if the table could do things like search filtering of displayed rows, column sorting, etc (all client side - something like datatables.net <http://datatables.net/>).
