Created attachment 263360 [details] SubSections It could be very useful to have the possibility to define sub-sections in the palette. See attachement example sketch image.
I don't think your mockup is possible using GEF right now (anybody feel free to correct me) and GEF 3 is not going to evolve any time soon. That being said as a workaround you can already define a "group" which gives you another level of hierarchy, see how the Class/Abstract Class/Interface group in Ecoretools is made. By "pinning" it or changing the "Drawer Options" settings you can make sure it will not be closed automatically.

Axel, did you see Cedric's screenshot ? Could this be a solution for your issue ?

I'm not convinced of the usability of the result (vertical space inside a diagram editor is usually not that large, so using more of that space for structural/organizational separators would reduce it even more). I certainly agree that the palette's usability could be improved, especially on diagrams with a lot of tools, just not sure this would be the best approach to that problem. Marking as triaged anyway as I agree with the underlying need. However, as mentioned by Cédric this is currently not possible to implement simply on top of GEF, so unless someone really needs this particular solution and is willing to sponsor the work (or propose a patch), there's no plan to include this in the roadmap for now.
