Idea: The option to turn these tools on/off in the Options menu, in a future release. :-) Also, perhaps to put them in the Command Bar instead, and they would work on a selected viewport.

I'm finding these things in the way more often, as I work on a smaller screen laptop sometimes.

It kind of reminds me of the turn signal lights behind the side view mirror on some late model vehicles? It short order, they realized that having things pop-up where you are supposed to be looking (or working, in MOI case) is counter-productive. Sorry about that, everything has a vehicle reference here in Detroit. ;-)

Maybe the option to put the tools in the CORNER of the viewport?
