Is Matts pulldown menu only documented in form of screenshots or 
tuhopuu? Would be good to have it in textform.

But from in the forum I could see he included Proportional Editing with 
the 2 falloff modes. Checkboxes in menus can be quite ugly. And 3 connected 
checkboxes ...
However I'm thinking about alternative ways of representing things like that.
But do you think such modal tools should be included in the toolbox?

I'm so happy you say that :-] (I was quite a bit frustrated after your last 
post).

Searching inside the toolbox would be a good start. But then it should be 
compared to using mnemonic keys.
