What changes will be made and why they would make a better Orfeo ToolBox?

After using Monteverdi, I think we can improve the user experience with small things. Please find the list below:

• Layers

• • Replace the mouse cursor icon when in swipe mode (or horizontal arrow when swiping vertically and a vertical arrow when swiping horizontally)
  • Indicate X and Y values in lat/long (in italic to indicate that the position is estimated) for sensor layer
  • Use the ENTRY key to select a layer in the layer view.
  • Use the SHIFT+ENTRY key to hide/show a layer
  • Add a right click menu in layer view to remove, up and down or move to upper and bottom the selected layer
  • Add a button remove all layers but not the selected

• Shaders

• • Add a button reset all shaders to normal one
  • Rename the render toolbar to zoom bar
  • Use the ESC button as shortcut to go back to normal shader when we use a other shader

• Gamma

• • Add a button for restore default value for gamma and alpha value
  • Add a tool-tip for alpha as for gamma

• Misc
  • Add the possibility to hide the projection toolbar

When will those changes be available (target release or date)?
