Four requests after seeing the goodies added in v8.1

I'm begging now . . .

Please, oh please, oh please. Oh! pleee-aaa-ssse!

I can't be the only one with these wishes, hopes, dreams, and desires . . .

AutoKeyframing Toggle

Example: http://i.imgur.com/3WQMscy.jpg

Direct Manipulation in Effect Mode is great,

but not when it adds keyframes when I don't want it to (e.g. Scale that's not meant to animate).

A Bin Container Window -- similar to SuperBin -- My vote goes to calling it BinRangler© (I'm only half kidding).

Allow the user to enable/disable this feature, which would make it possible to single-click on the bin icon (or maybe an Opt/Alt Single Click) and that would open the bin and place it into the Bin Container Window (which would be a "Tool" so that it could be locked in a specific location as part of a Workspace (a.k.a. Toolset). The Bin Container would behave like a tabbed set does now.

Paint and AniMatte promoted to Advanced Keyframes.

And when a shape is added, it would get its own keyframe track.

Plus, the ability to hold Shift to make a circle or a square.

Please return the interface customizability circa v3 or v4 (and any more customizability

that anyone can dream-up, including Font size and typeface customizability throughout).

You may not think it matters . . . but it really does.

Just today a young editor (switching from FCP) commented that they liked the customizability in v7.

Then I told him about v4 and previous, and he drooled.

Personally, I miss:

- Timeline Bkgd Color (I used to make mine black, which is much easier on the eyes during a long day of cutting).

- Ability to color Filler (helpful when you have many tracks).

- Custom I/O highlight/s (Would be helpful differentiating between an I/O highlight and a Segment Mode selection highlight).
