[Bf-committers] Tool Shelf Toggling On/Off Tab Mockup

[M.G. Kishalmi]

I like how Brecht solved this in the cycles branch:
 he removed the (+) icons all together.

there are keys for props [N] and tools [T]
 and menu entries (in view) for all 3.
maybe we can simply add a key for tool-props? suggestion: [ALT]+[N]

or maybe.. don't allow the tool-props to be hidden at all?
 just find a way to have it sit there at the top/bottom of the tools nicely.

cheers,
 mario
