So, on devtalk, we are requesting a little change to the interface but no answers so far.
I dont know why someone would make the topbar locked in place and global since it display local tool settings, but I hope you are already aware of the problems it brings up.
**Problem**
Top bar is global and unmovable, it picks the settings if the last activated tool, which brings inconsistency and requires extra clicks and unnecessary movements to reach the topbar specially when there are multiple regions of different types sharing the same topbar

We see it being reported in the devtalk multiple times.

And I didn't mention proposals that doesn't relate to topbar but provide better solutions than those.
Intriguing enough, I don't find any answer from devs to why this is a bad idea or if its going to happen or not.
Anyway, **the solution everyone seems to ask is this**:
Make a per-region tool settings bar, which picks up the settings of its own editor and nothing else, they can be optionally hidden and or moved to top/bottom/left/right

@billreynish Before trialing this as invalid as you do, please answer why this got ignored? Is it too hard to implement?
