Two-column tool shelf
Allow the user to expand the tool shelf into a two-column configuration by dragging the border between the tool shelf and viewport in the empty area below the tool buttons (should should have a guaranteed minimum space below, even when scrollbars are active).
Hello, could this solution the team in Inkscape did for the upcoming version be convenient for graphite

when you resize the group of tools resize accordinly ( respecting the separators)
Something like that could work in the future but we don't have a preferences menu yet, nor is there really a need to show and hide tools yet. Once we have a lot more tools, that may become more useful then. At the moment, tools are grouped into the General/Vector/Raster sections so resizing the columns of the tool shelf will do what's shown there by making each section wrap with its siblings. This feature is basically the CSS/JS for that column resizing and reflow.

Yes I understand I just needed to show the entire solution we ended up with for future reference, it was subject of a lot of iterations between devs and us in the UX team to nail the desired flow ( GTK is a nightmare to work with)
Understood, thank you for showing that off!
I think in the longer term, we'll have a whole lot of tools based on people's plugins from the plugin store. So managing that effectively will be pretty important!
