<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Greg<br>
<br>
the purpose is to have a PP in 2 parts (content / container) that
are completely context sensitive so that you get activated only
what's need.<br>
<br>
In your text, i read something like what gimp did in the new text
tool : options just above the frame to avoid mouse to travel all
the time along the screen. That could be productive, not as a real
shortcut scheme could be. But i guess we have not reach that point
actually.<br>

occurred to me as I was making a text frame
that I intended to create columns in.<br>
<br>
What if we had an item in the context menu
that said, for example, "Text Tab", so that if
you selected it, up popped a free-floating
equivalent to the Text tab of Properties, with
all its settings, and it would stay open until
I closed it? If I selected a different text
frame, its settings applied there.<br>
Similarly, I could bring up a Shape tab by
right-clicking a polygon or shape, an Image
tab if I right-clicked an image frame.<br>
<br>
This is just some free-form musing about the
mess that Properties has become.<br>
Perhaps the best way to conquer Properties is
to draw and quarter it...<br>

<div>I believe that this is where we are trying to
go now. The PP would contextually offer the user
the settings that are relevant to the active
object. When in a Text frame, text settings, when
in an image frame, image settings. Not even the
need for a right-click.</div>

<div>Ale could elaborate on this.</div>

But the point is, there are tabs which are context-specific
and those which are not. I can imagine working with a text
frame, having a free-floating text tab, and yet in the
remnants of Properties working with XYZ tab functions. You
would leave in Properties those features which might apply
to various objects.<br>

<div>Yes, that’s the point. The PP lets you act on what you’re
on. So, there would still be a bit of redundancy in the PP but
each pane you see has it all for what you’re at.</div>
