      <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><br>
                    </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>
