| Summary | 0017951: [patch] Operator Tools Preferences UI Polish | ||||
| Description | * Replaces the Zoom / Miscellaneous tabs with a compact single-page layout. * Groups settings into Zoom, Duplication Offset, and Angle Constraint. * Uses compact tiny labels and consistently aligned numeric controls. * Adds group-level keyboard mnemonics and logical Tab navigation. * Clarifies labels and tooltips, including the purpose of duplication offsets and angle constraint. * Removes unnecessary whitespace and improves visual consistency. * No preference storage, defaults, ranges, or underlying tool behaviour changed. | ||||
