A rip-off means on the fly intuitive user modification to the GUI.
This is always a good thing. It would be even better, if the GUI 
remembered the state of the rip-off across sessions.

I hardly use this popup. It is no much speed improvement compared to 
plain menu items. Also, it does not include the settings, which is 
one of the most frequently used menu actions for me.

The list of tools reminds me of the pecularity of the main tool 
button area. Its 3x4-1 placement is quite un-ergonomic. The group
of tools does not lend itself to any natural order. When an item is
added, many buttons change position. What was on the bottom right 
might end up in the bottom left, etc. We had this recently, when 
the hole tool was added. This caused me to do quite a number of 
mis-clicks.

BTW, what are the "none" and "cancel" tools for?
