Re-organize toolbox

With over 20 tools, the toolbox has become a bit unwieldy, and it can be hard to find important tools (e.g. the text tool) among more nice things (e.g. "spray objects"). On smaller displays (768px tall laptops), the list doesn't even fit on the screen, which can be a discoverability issue.

This is the toolbox in current master:

I'd be interested in discussing a re-organization of the toolbox, perhaps introducing groups, or putting some things in submenus.

To get the ball rolling, here's one possible way this could be done:

Top-level items:

  • Selection
  • Node Editor
  • Bezier Tool
  • Text Tool
  • Rectangle
  • Circle
  • Gradient Editor
  • Mesh Editor
  • Color Picker
  • Measurement Tool
  • Zoom

Shapes (submenu)

  • Polygons
  • Spirals
  • 3D boxes,

Misc (submenu)

  • Sculpting
  • Draw Freehand Lines
  • Calligraphy
  • Spray Objects
  • Fill Areas
  • Geometric Constructions
  • Diagram Connectors
  • Erase Paths
