Not sure where to put the focus then, and how.. there's unfortunately no 
setFocus(false). :)

There already is: CTRL+ALT+e. Since this feels a lot better than the 
standalone dialogs during using, I guess we should always use this line 
instead of standalong dialogs, given that the line is visible. But first the 
outstanding focus issues need to be solved(Clicking the dropdowns doesn't work 
properly yet)

I've given it some size constraints, so it should be between 400 and 200. 
Probably that's still too big, given that you usually just type a few 
characters in there.

If you want it to be totally on the right, you have to move it completely to 
the right once manually. From then on, if you make the window smaller, the 
toolbar will automatically move it so it still has its minimum size. We would 
need some way to force this line-edit, at least initially, completely to the 
right.
