Level Editor Spring Cleaning
#1
Some little suggestions for the PR2 Level Editor

1. Password not disclosed when loading level
Show the password when loading a level.
The password is shown when you modify it, so why shouldn't it show when loading a level?
It can be useful when you forget the password to a level and you want to find out what it is without re-publishing the level.

2. Allow the Delete tool to be accessed with the CTRL key at all times
Activate the Delete tool when CTRL is pressed without needing to select a block/object first.
Using the CTRL key is much quicker and easier than the other methods of deletion.

Given that changing tabs removes the selected block/object, this can be slightly annoying if you wish to delete some things after switching tabs.

The Delete tool is also quite painful to use. You can accidentally delete blocks while moving the player spawn points, and deselecting the tool is unintuitive. Maybe clicking the Delete tool again or pressing and releasing CTRL should deselect it.

3. Scrollable panel triggers OCD
The scrollable panel on the right only holds 8.85 items. It would be nice if the buttons were spaced closer so that 9 items can fit.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll look into 2 and 3. I want to address 1 though:

The reason you can't see your level passwords is that the server doesn't actually know what they are. They're hashed (using MD5 for the nerds) before being sent to the server, which means they're jumbled into a string of letters and numbers. This is standard practice for passwords for security reasons.
