GREAT! I'm looking forward to this!

While you are at it, there are some functions still
missing in the menus (the ones you have allready
done.) Here is a thread with lists of some missing
menu items:
http://www.blender.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2397&highlight=missing+hotkays

Also, a very important thing in the IPO editor: In the
IPO window it is not possible to enter IPO-Editmode by
other means than tab. Shouldn't the modes work kinda
like in the 3D window? Anyway, to clarify what I mean
I have made this little mockup:

This should show when you are in Curve mode(equivalent
to Object mode in 3D window):

This should show when you are in Edit mode (like Edit
mode in the 3D window)

Anyway, just want to say that I'm looking forward to
seeing the toolbox + menus in all the windows. It will
make the entire new UI seem nicer and more complete,
and it will improve consistancy considerably. You are
doing an
amazing job; Even I, an experienced Blender user, am
benefitting from the new UI.

PS
Did I understand correcty that you would like a list
of features/hotkeys in each remaining window? I'd be
happy to try and make one.
