always have an ItemModified value, for sorting

It seems IQ items don't have an ItemModified value until they are actually modified after their initial creation.  (What a concept!  😆)  It makes sense but it does mean that if I sort items by the ItemModified value, newly created items without an ItemModified value won't be included and could be missed.  Same thing if you filter by ItemModified.  So would it make sense to assign an ItemModified value on creation, in addition to the ItemCreated value, for this reason?

grid of grids again ...

We've had a number of threads over the years expressing the desire for a grid of grids, to organize a large number of grids.  This is useful - https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/node/4693 - BUT it doesn't get updated when you add a grid (most common) or delete a grid (rare).  So, if you want to update your Grid of Grids to add the ones you've added since the last revision of the Grid of Grids, you have to figure ouf which Grids are the ones you already have in the Grid of Grids, and which ones are the new ones, so you can add them.

paste hierarchical (but not tab-indented) content to get corresponding outline hierarchy in grid

Often content I want to paste into a Grid from an outside source already has an outline structure of some kind, but it's not tab-indented.  And so when I paste it into an IQ grid, the hierarchy that was present in the outside source is not replicated as a parents/children outline in the Grid.   The content as pasted as items all at the same level.  So if I want to reproduce the hierarchy in a Grid outline, I have to go through all the items and indent each one to the appropriate level.

Suggestions for customize toolbars

Customize Toolbars > Commands

1) Categories list should be in alphabetical order.  Right now, you have to scroll up and down the list to find a category in what appears to be a randomly-ordered list.

2) "All Commands" should be at the top of the list (it will be if sorted alphabetically).  I don't see the logic in having it 2nd to last. 

3) One category is named "[Empty"].  Is this a typo that needs correcting?

Seems like I brought this up a long time ago.  Maybe it's something out of Pierre's control.

Enable the "Show in a New Scratch Grid" toolbar button for Live-Search results

If I run a search under "Live-Search", and if I select one or more of the search results, then I:

a) can click the "Show Items in the Search Grid" button, such that those items appear in a Search grid.

b) can click the "Show in a New Scratch Grid" button (which I had added to a custom toolbar), but nothing happens. Can this latter scenario be enabled/supported?

Thanks.

keystroke navigation in properties pane

A few things I'd like to see in the properties pane, to make it fully keyboard-navigable just like other parts of the IQ GUI are keyboard-navigable.

The Properties Pane contains an "outline" of sorts.

The top level headings are Item Properties, Marked Items, Grids, Forms, All Fields.  These are shown with a Darker Blue background.
