Expanding Block Folders

I don't like how the block folders keep expanding UP into the building area. They get in the way. Just a bit cumbersome. If you want to do that format, then have the folders in a separated area.

You are right.

What about a hotkey to toggle the folder view on and off? First I select the desired block, then I press the hotkey, the opened folders disappear, I have full view of the building area and can place my block. Another keypress (or click on an icon in the bottom line, of course) brings the folders back.

Why make it all complex with hotkeys and stuff. If they just make it like the old menus, where you have to click for it to open, it will do just fine.

Or as you move up through the menus the previous section slides down off the screen.

Yes, but it might require more room on the bottom.

Not sure I'm following. Why?
As you move up through block menus the menu slides down over the section you were just in. A sliding block menu could even be a choice toggled on or off by the user.

This is a great idea, perhaps a button to go back one row would be helpful for those who don't use the keyboard at all (^function)

I just want a faster menu, now I need to move my mouse up/down to select the block... in TMF I simply move the moust left/right, and rightclick to get back one level.
