+ New floating widget with quick access to recent/favorites (Heiko)
or small button only that just opens the dialog (Jay)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114701
or just have a tooltip
+ add labels (Andreas)
+ get rid of all labels in favor of tooltips (Jay)
+ tooltips are not shown at screenshots making it hard to illustrate in the help (Csongor)
+ labels above controls (Csongor, Stuart)
=> place text above controls using Search, Category, Function, and Description on the left
and Scope, Target, Function, Customize right
+ use "Target" or make it dependent on tab -> Target is easier for l10n
+ change +/- to add/delete or any other text?
=> tooltips are the better way to explain the function

* Standard palette rework
