EDIT: actually in full screen mode (and tablet mode for the future), these kind of things might help. I agree. "Would this be the right click menu?" There will be no need for context menu, toolbar icons will be what is in context, remaining toolbar items will be hidden. Toolbar is activated with context tool icons, trigger by what the user does ( trigger by selection e.g.) I hope I am clear, pardon me it is just a small idea to have more focus on the canvas and tools are in the background, and called in the UI when needed. Makes sense?

@b77 said in Gap Tool ideas: Preferences > Editing Options 2 > Show Editor Popups displays the moving distance. So here is an example of where the popups being active would interfere in my work. I would turn this one off specifically and leave others on

@Igull it is hardly original - it has been in use for several years now: https://www.google.com/search?q=ipadification

@VectorStyler Yes, the "direct shape transformation" is checked on. I also restarted VS fresh and had the same issue. [image: 1686160139731-dd91de10-a9c9-4d95-b4c2-326b7e7410d0-bld-2023-06-07-at-13.39.23-resized.png]

@Boldline Added this to the backlog of features.

@Pat Added this to the backlog (the first request )

@VectorStyler Good to know. Maybe new/other layout features will be in VS 1.2 but it would be nice to be able to setup grids according to the margins. Thanks

@Pat Yes, (2) is in the backlog. Added (1) also.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog. Whether the curve moves or not it also depends on its shape and if it can be approximated with a single curve.

I want to clarify that I meant to say I would NOT set it as the default. But instead let it be an easy check to make on the contextual menu

@b77 I love your idea for the node Indicator Shapes preferences! So fast and easy to see!

@Victor-Vector said in Request: Non-blocking sliders in color selection dialogs: @Ingolf, indeed, a strange anomaly. On my Win11 machine I do not have this occurring. I noticed in your post's footer you list both a Mac and a Win11 OS. Are you running VectorStyler on both OSs? Do you get the same anomaly on both? My intuition was right that it was a configuration issue, so I didn't check before Csaba gave the above advice. I only turn on my (fast) Windows machine when I have no other choice.

@William-Kansepa said in Copying and pasting path segments: I am thinking that the Shape Editor Tool exhibits the same traits as the Direct Selection Tool in AI? Similar, yes. And for pasting a copied path section: select a node (preferably an ending node) and the path is pasted as a continuation there. Otherwise, it is pasted as a new object.

@Boldline I tested this, and unless the image is embedded, the file name should be the first in the tooltip.

I think i mentioned this somewhere before Magix Graphics Designer (Xara) also have an interesting way to create a grid of shapes here a video

@VectorStyler Following up on this topic. Sometimes I've noticed the "x's" being the same color as the layer color - but more often than not, they are always black, even when I adjust the layer color.

@b77 for the Quick Panel Icons i like that the Combine Icon (from Boolean) and the Composite Icon are a bit different and find the "Select and transform members of grouped Objects" Icon very well made [image: 1685559218660-members-of-a-group.png]

@Victor-Vector Docking too many panels into one place can be problematic. I will try to improve this.
