For inspiration a discussion on StackExchange on the topic of this papercut:
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/23159/how-to-make-the-file-manager-default-to-sorting-by-modification-date

@Manuel Grad (manitwo): Yes I think that makes sense. I added these two items to the list..

@Charlie Jolly (charlie): Yes, I'd love to see a proposal on how to handle this in a general consistent way in all the modes.

Context popup: It's worth seeing how Heavypoly uses his own popup menu when working with GP on his YouTube channel. The popup is more efficient and eliminates multiple clicks, especially considering that he uses a pen almost exclusively.

@Craig Jones (craig_jones): Yes I think that should be possible by setting the brush list to All Tools and then viewing your Favourites. This would give you a list of favourite brushes across all your tools.

Looking forward to the artist favorites sorting for the brushes, as this would be very helpful toward keeping workflows already done in 2.79 - have to ask if we will be able to access favorites across tools? Current state of dev makes sense but limits access from the Tool panel in the Properties editor, but if we could have a way to group brushes from different tools together as a tool kit set, that would be fast.

A gif illustrating the problem when swapping the position of the panel:

Hey, this is obviously going in the right direction, but I would like to add this : having tool presets appear in the viewport toolbar would be fantastic (in a tab, or in a retractable part of the region).

Note, this bug is still in existence, and still makes the horizontal scrollbar impossible to use in the vse. And, as of 2.8, it seems the region overlap is now enabled by default, meaning that the vse is broken in the default setup...

What I noticed is that if the mouse cursor is near the left side of the clip window (the pane itself, not the video clip, you can zoom out and have a really small video clip in the pane to exaggerate this) then the markers are placed at the left side of the video clip. This tends to drift away as you move the mouse cursor to the right.
I would guess that the placement is based on the pane's boundaries (and has some scale factor) and not the actual clip's boundaries.

I made the patch! D3943

Please put LCS as default, because many people can ignore the First Launch Setup Screen and have the problem of clicking and do nothing. Usually users experienced in other software only look slightly new software that are in the same category and if they find it interesting to see some videotutorial about it. And although Blender is very popular many do not know about it, I recently gave a talk at a university and will be amazed to know that the guys only knew about Autodesk products. Obviously they didn't know that there is software that uses RCS. I explained RCS and LCS with its advantages and disadvantages, but nobody wanted to choose RCS. If you really want to give importance to RCS you should put a link to blender.org explaining the advantages. An experienced user knows how to put RCL. Maybe a vote could be taken in the community to make it more democratic?

@Tomas (Rusculleda), Corrected first issue, Ctrl-Alt-Space works here.

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) I think Ctrl-Shift-Tab (Snap Element Menu) is actually back, isn't it?

just sharing this here so it doesnt get forgotten:

@Ludvik Koutny (rawalanche): I'm not sure what you mean. If you use any of the transform tools, you drag and release to translate. The action ends when the user releases the mouse button.

I want to remind you that in 2.8, "Release confirms" in preferences is still set to be disabled by default, which results in quite default jarring behavior of tools for the new users, especially transform tools such as move, rotate and scale. Every time such an action is performed, the mode stick even upon releasing the mouse button, making it feel like the mouse has malfunctioned, requiring another click to confirm the action.

It can be hidden by default. And when you move the mouse to the right or left side of the window then show "+".

Regnas, there are no issues to you, that is perfectly fine. Matter of minor disagreement here. I was trying to make my case about actively active tool panels. Based on the screenshot you provided, the issue is that sizing of the info box constantly changes which I personally find distractiong, however I agree that it is not as extreme as the viewport widgets issue.

Ok, there is still an issue of discover-ability,

@William Reynish (billreynish) +1 for you're suggestion.

@Lucas Boutrot (thornydre) I think it would be the same for adding a cube (and grid, plane, even things like a bezier curve and a metaball plane), it would make sense for the size of the cube to reflect the length of a side, not the radius.

@Lucas Boutrot (thornydre) Ideally yes I think that would be best, considering that the diameter of those objects are 2 by default.

For the monkey, at the moment it is Radius, and the default value is 1, if it is changed to Size, does the value have to be changed to 2 then ?

I think we should do it like this:

This is annoying hell in my use case. I can fire move or scale or rotate couple times a second in edit mode, the ui elements appear and disappear so many times makes me dizzy. If all you do is move things here and there, it might not be an issue but if you like to work fast and efficient, this is not the sitaution one wants to be in. I personally find the current way of handling of hiding other stuff on the screen to show operation info to be an half baked idea.

You must be thinking about something else.
I'm talking about this kind of stuff:

I don't consider this kind of thing as flickering. This is something very natural that happens in every software that has panel that shows properties of several things.

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) Still not a big deal for me tbh, I can live with that. But if people still think that's too annoying, then your suggestion to keep this panel at the bottom would solve that.

@Regnas (Regnas) the difference is it's common to access tools directly in blender (more then you might switch tools).

I'm willing to give this one a shot since I'm interested in helping with development and it seems pretty simple. Should I just change the add sphere operator, or should I wait for further discussion on changing other operators to be more consistent?
