Bug Description

In Pcbnew is sidebar which is used for setting visibilities of desing layers. But I think that there is enough space for adding more options and tune current sidebar. This can help new users in discovering the KiCad and can simplify using the KiCad.

The first thing which can be added are properties of selected track/via/footprint/pad/whatever else. As is implemented (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Sidebar-widget-layout.png)

In another tab can be properties of currently used tool. For instance in sidebar can be Interactive Router Settings.

Switching between tabs can be done vertically to save space (again inspired by LibO).

Changed in kicad:
importance: Undecided → Wishlist

Maybe Component Properties, Footprint Properties can be made dockable

The Zuken PCB design suite have similar solution for setting all possible values in sidebar.
