ZBrush Feature Request - Tray scroll to SubPalette

I know there is no wish list or at least I did not find a place for it so here it goes.

As seen in the image there could be a section for both left and right tray, where in this section “Tray scroll to SubPalette” it would look in it’s tray and find all of the subpalette’s currently precent and show a small icon(maybe 28x28px) for each subpalette and when clicking an icon the tray scrolls to the subpalette and opens the palette if not open…

That’s an interesting idea. I definitely get tired of all the scrolling in palettes.

Here’s ZScript buttons I hotkey to get to the most common sub-palettes I use, mainly the Tool SubTool, Geometry, and Deformations palettes.

Assuming you’re using the right tray then you need
Preferences:Interface:Right Tray and Preferences:Interface:Auto Collapse
turned off as the commands only work if the menus are already docked and expanded in the tray.

Assign hotkeys of your choice…sometimes you have to press the hotkey more than once as the first keypress scrolls the menu into view if needed
and then the next keypress opens the subpalette.

For example I have Alt+d assigned to go to the tool:deformations palette
Also note that in ZBrush you have to release modifier keys (ctrl,alt,shift) in order to use them in succession, they can’t be held down.
The zscript below when loaded will install the buttons in Zplugin:UIHelper. Modify as needed.
