Hi,

Well well well... the Nkey menu is the wrong place yes, but having the =20=

3d cursor coordinates visualized in a button isn't bad in general.

There's also a view property panel, showing settings for the 3d window. =20=

I was looking at this for setting the outline-select feature too. There =20=

a 3d cursor location can be drawn in buttons as well.
Only drawback is that the other view properties are really more like =20
presets, with features you don't have to access often. We can also look =20=

at a shortcut for it, like SHIFT+N or so.

I'm looking into the issue now. Might well be something for 2.35 to =20
define the definite solution though.
