Tools that allow multiple instances, such as Scratchpad, should be displayed separately from contextual tools.

See attachment.

Currently the buttons in the toolbox are semi-customizable. There is a string in prefs that we parse into a bunch of commands, and create buttons from those.

So the string is something like "paintflashing toggle|tilt toggle|scratchpad|responsivemode on"

We *could* do this by allowing a spacer element:

"paintflashing toggle|tilt toggle|responsivemode on||scratchpad"

And retain the customizability.

Other things to think about:
* space along this bar is at a premium already
* we want to allow addons to be able to add to this bar
* we may want to allow users to customize it too

Marking as WFM, this was already implemented in FN45
