Hi Bard,

Yeah the shortcuts are only a temporary solution for the time being.

But it's basically my policy to hesitate before adding things into the main UI - once something is added to the main UI people tend to get accustomed to it and then it creates a lot of controversy if I try to remove it later on and put it somewhere else.

It works better for the UI to be developed more carefully and have things go into a good location when they first appear.

That kind of hesitation is one of the reasons why MoI continues to have a nice streamlined UI instead of falling victim to "feature creep" or "bloat".

There's probably going to be an extended object properties dialog which will have a lot of room to contain a whole lot more controls, and it may go on there.
