The Data Type editor could be improved in terms of productivity and usability.
Ideally, the user should be able to create a complex type minimizing the mouse usage.
1) Saving the node is an overhead for basic data type (e.g. age: number)
2) Some actions in the kebab menu should be more visible and available even before saving
the type (as standalone icon / buttons). Especially, insert nested, delete.
3) Select type in the selector by typing the name of the type (see screenshot): it
already works but it consider just the first letter typed. Since, by convention, all
custom types starts with `t` letter, it would be better consider at least 2 letters.
