I based this off of the bevy-inspector-egui egui_dock example. You get a hierarchy of entities on the left side of the screen, and components for all selected entities on the right. You'll notice some extra allocations each frame but this is just an editor tool.. 😅

We're using leafwing-input-manager and its "egui" feature to block game input while you're messing around in the inspector. For some reason mouse clicks are not blocked yet - will have to figure that out.

I was surprised how easy it was to set all of this up. The file is just a total of 85 LOC.

egui comes with a default bevy picking backend that does block clicks when clicking on an egui window. using bevy's picking for your game's mouse clicks should handle this automatically

Good to know! We're still on 0.14 so we don't have picking yet. Mouse button presses are for spraying water in our game instead of picking things, so we'll have to see how we'll fix the issue in our case.

bevy 0.16 introduces window picking, where you can add picking observers to the window itself. combine this with disabling sprite picking, and you could easily have the behavior you want.
