Description
I'd like to propose a few enhancements to the layout dialog to make it more intuitive and user friendly.
1) Live-update the panel split while adjusting the layout dialog, because the user should not be expected to know what number of columns or rows is reasonable without being able to see the effects. Cancel reverts to previous settings.
2) alt+shift+left_arrow and alt+shift+right_arrow directly influence the divider position, but the < and > layout dialog buttons have the reverse effect, which is unintuitive behavior. Reverse the direction of < and > influence so that clicking left moves the divider left, and clicking right moves the divider right.
