Looking for temporarly floating panel

[luisseyfer]

Hi

I hope that I found the right place for my question.

I often change the settings of the QUERTY-tools.
Is there any script to get their optionBox temporarely while press down a hotkey?

Example:
I want to move a vertex in NormalsAverage.
The MoveTool settings are global.
Instead of double clicking the MoveTool-icon I hold down SomeKey (I saved in the KeyEditor before) + W
and get the OptionBox.
After choosing NormalsAverage I release the Keys and the SettingsWindow vanishes
and I've got the desided settings active on the component.

Is there a way?

regards
Luis

Well hold W down and LMB now you get a markingmenu that has the option. It serves for this exact purpose but is way faster. If any of the options you wish to see aren't there change the marking menu.

But yes doing what you want is not terribly hard just put:

toggleUIComponentVisibility "Tool Settings";

in your keydown and keyup of a shortcut, or if your settings are separate windows then:

if (!`window -ex toolProperties`){
	toolPropertyWindow;
} else {
  deleteUI toolProperties; 
}

Tough it works badly as the panel steals focus.
