I have a context-sensitive request.

In the Plant Database, when adding data details, there can be a lot of scrolling up and down to find the "Preview" and "Save" buttons. I used to wish that all the lists of check-boxes and radio buttons could default to "minimized", to reduce the scrolling, but that might inconvenience more people than it helped.

However, if we could have context-sensitive "Preview" and "Save" buttons on the custom floating menu bar, the amount of scrolling needed would be much reduced.

(I happen to be adding data to several Lettuce entries, but 95% of what I'm editing are in two fields kind of buried inside pages of check-box lists. My interim solution was to put StickyNotes with arrows on the frame of my monitor, to show where to scroll to, in order to find the two fields of interest.)

Perhaps a low-value feature to add "some day" would be a button inside the "add data details" dialog to minimize or expand the longer check-box lists.
