It would be helpful to statically display the channel number in the channel color cell to the left of the channel name in the the input patch screen. When labeling channels, the number gets overwritten and would be nice to reference the channel numbers when dealing with a lot of channels…

Would be really appreciated!

It would also be very helpful to be able to see the names of groups and links and so on in the patching window (maybe at least the name appearing when hoovering over it)
