I have appreciated using Michael’s SeparateSidePanePalettes.js, but with a small laptop screen I do find myself wishing that I could have more of my commonly used tools exposed more of the time…in other words a desire to minimize the number of times I wind up clicking a tool palette open. Being another of Michael’s readable examples, SeparateSidePanePalettes provided the hints as to how to accomplish what I wanted, so I modified it to produce CombineSidePanePalettes.js which should be copied into MoI’s personal startup folder to use. The new script combines the curve/solid drawing tools and construction/transformation tools onto larger command palettes, but the other multi-tab palettes are left to operate as they normally do, thus its behavior is somewhere in between the standard UI and SeparateSidePanePalettes. Although they are no longer accurate, I left the tab titles alone so that no additional translation is necessary. Tested with MoI v4 on a Mac.
