Re: [announcement] SearchBar Mod: search through tools, objects, preferences and more
I don't have this tool by default. How can I add it to the task bar? I think if would be useful to give instructions in GitHub README.md and Wiki. I don't understand. Isn't that what this whole topic is about? What problems do you have? Argh, I just found out that the What is? button is in the &quo...

Re: 'sub-object shape binder' vs 'shape binder'
The major difference is it can be moved. Until I found that, I used the hidden Placement of the ShapeBinder :) .

Re: new Measurement tool
I'd be happy if people could test it and report all problems. Thanks for this tool. It has a clean and intuitive interface. Finally a measurement tool that shows the length of an edge with one click! :) I think I found a bug: Selecting snap and clicking on an edge always selects the edge's midpoint...
