I would like to propose a new UX/UI for the right-hand panels in Node-RED.  
Currently, these panels are arranged as follows:

 ![node-red-tabs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/5/858166a63564e0001edb971fa9daa45aba571fe4.png)

As a user of Inkscape, I find the arrangement of its panels more ergonomic and intuitive.  
It is possible to display them as tabs, with the selected tab showing its title.  
It is also possible to display two dialog boxes stacked vertically.

Finally, it is possible to show/hide the tabs to display:

Unfortunately, the practice is not so quick to implement.

I can imagine it... it was just a suggestion...

I know it's a suggestion - the main thing is to see what we can do with it 🙂
