[Bf-funboard] Blender suggestions

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

>> 1.) I wish the 'buttons' screen didn't take up 1/3 of
>> the screen.  That's a lot of real estate.  A quick
>> keyboard shortcut for popping it up and down would be
>> great, or some kind of right-click (or combo
>> middle+right click) pop-up 'quad menu' as in 3dsMax.

Nevertheless, it's at the list to do! Being able to better configure  
such panels would be welcome.

There's even a better one: use the Audio window instead. That doesn't  
put the ipo curves in the way, plus it has seconds in the lower  
slider-bar!
I've designed that window for this kind of abuse... ;-)

> Enjoy!

Indeed! :)
