Three suggestions for TGB that would make me much happier

There are three things I'd like to see in TGB, in no particular order:
1. Close GUI Editor - I'm working with the mouse here, there should be a mouse way of closing it. I can't tell you how many times I've been lured into closing TGB itself.
2. Context Toolbar - The edit options that appear onMouseOver of the select object should appear in a context sensitive toolbar up top or in its own section in the Edit portion of an object. are there keyboard shortcuts for this maybe?
3. A more robust way to select and group objects in the project window. It doesn't match the OS. Grouping objects is frustrating. The expected behavior of selecting and object and dragging it into a group just isn't there.
These are pretty minor since non of them address actually getting a task done, just how to get the task done, but they'd all make me a little bit happier.
