I changed it from 'Freeze Panes' to 'Freeze Rows and Columns' as i'd assume
most people would know what panes are, me included. :D

So you okay with moving AutoInput to Tools and keeping the rest under Data?

I believe it is quite similar to our toolbars, where we put the most important
buttons on the left (new, open, save) and less important on the right (draw
tools).

Well i'm hoping you never open the File menu, as save is mentioned 4 times. :D
