seemed like a good idea, but I've found it to be problematic. Because it
is only available for toolbar buttons it isn't available for all
operators. Perhaps an extra button "make default" in the F6 panel is
more natural.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd really like to see you try the ".. tail button" idea I suggested. Create a "..." button-tail on specific tool buttons which benefit from popping up the parameter config. It would look like this for the "screw" tool". (you have to choose whether a specific button gets a visible shortcut or the "..." tail)</div>

This is more discoverable and simpler to use than a right-click-defaults option, since (a) you can immediately cause the action and bring up the operator-config, (b) it makes operator config more obvious and discoverable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think rather than a "make default" button on the operator panel, it might be more capable to add a checkbox "use as default settings". This way you can per-operator decide whether you'd prefer to just keep using the last settings, or stop using the last settings. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I also think the subpanel "..." tail should be an icon-button, with some experiements on what it could look like. I know you are not an icon artist, so we can get someone else involved here. However, as a stand-in, I think vertically centered ellipsis would look better and be consistent with my suggestion above. More like this:</div>
