I'm going to start this rant with a specific example and endwith a plea for the general ability to control the behavior offlyout menus.
I can use the mouse to move components. The Move Component Fly Downon the Command Manager has Move Component on top with Rotatehidden. Why isn't Rotate the convenient behavior with Move beingthe more difficult launch?
Most of the time, I'm looking for the Rotate icon, not the Moveicon. I can either replace the fly down with separate icons on theCommand Manager or memorize a key stroke combination to launch theRotate function. I use a bunch of different software packages, andmemorizing a suite of keystrokes for each one is beyond my feeblemental capacity.
My preference would be to reorder the appearance of who's-on-top inthe fly downs.
In fact, there are two kinds of "training" that I'd like to imposeon my fly downs.
In one mode, I want them to remember what I did last (that appliesto every option on every Property Manager, but that's anothertopic).
In another mode, I want to specify which item appears as the"sticky" default top dog.
