Toolbox Spacer

Created attachment 313346 [details] Toolbox Spacer #User Story Sometimes it is kinda hard to find the tool you are looking for especially when you resize your toolbox or the window resizes your toolbox. Depending on the screen size some of the tools even get pushed down past the screen till you can no longer see them. I know generally where the tool should be but when I go to look for it does not seem to be there. #Details To improve user experience I propose toolbox spacers. Attached is an image showing how this could be done. In Preferences > Toolbox there would be a new spacer button to add horizontal (or vertical spacers if the option to put the toolbox horizontally gets implemented) spacers to the toolbox. Use the up and down arrows or Drag the spacer to move it. This feature would go nicely with the Toolbox groups/folders feature request. #Arguments against One may argue this is just copying off of Photoshop and that we should not copy from them just for the sake of copying especially proprietary software. This is true Photoshop do group their tools like this. #Arguments for You should also not refuse to implement an idea because some other app has this feature because it is proprietary and just to remain different. This feature will improve user experience there for is a good idea and should be implemented. #Suggested Default Spacers This could be just a feature to give users more control over GIMP. But if we decide to go and add some groups to GIMP by default here are some suggestions. * Rectangle Select * Ellipse Select * Free Select * Scissors Select * Foreground Select * Fuzzy Select * Select by Color Spacer * Color Picker * Zoom Tool * Measure Tool Spacer * Unified Transform * Rotate Tool * Scale Tool * Shear Tool * Perspective Tool * Flip Tool * Cage Transform Spacer * Bucket Fill * Blend Tool * Pintbrush * Pencil Tool * Airbrush Tool * Ink Tool * Clone Tool * Seamless Clone * Healing Tool * Perspective Tool * Blur / Sharpen Tool * Smudge Tool * Dodge / Burn Tool Spacer * Color Balance * Hue-Saturation Tool * Colorize Tool * Brightness/Contrast Tool * Threshold Tool * Levels Tool * Curves Tool * Posterize Tool Spacer * GEGL Tool * Option Tool
