User problem

@ebrehault perhaps it doesn't make sense for the settings to be in the editor pane? Not many of the settings you would keep going back to refine and redit. You would likely make one choice and then save and forget and so might be better suited to a modal?

It's form layout and code you would spend the most time. The only exception I can think of is selection lists and helpers.

This would make problems for helpers though as they are currently a modal on top of the settings form. They could potentially be a modal on the code editor, except that helpers should be able to be used by those without permission to write code, so the code would have to be hidden.

Should probably do https://github.com/plomino/Plomino/issues/736 at the same time as having tabs inside tabs would be ugly.
