Adding effects undiscoverable and overcomplicated

[adambelis]

Ok this one is abisious and probably not doable in short to mid turn .

but currently adding effects is very hidden and cumbersome.

i oppose adding search bar + button that would show all effects. also we would no longer split effect by what are they based on by default they would be applied as fill effects (could be settled as preference / ctrl+ click to do stroke based) . you would set effect type in drop-down next to effect. all other custom fields would also moved as concert of special effects.

second option is move this element down under all the other properties this is less discoverable but still usable

this would also allow context menus to be smaller and have all reasonable acions in then without need for submenus

Looks like a good solution, thanks :+1:

Will probably not happen in v1.0, but should be doable for v1.1.

Effects will be more accessible in v1.0, as they are now available in the main toolbar and through the command palette
