I often need to use brushes from different categories (e.g. dedicated eraser brushes, markers, pens and pencils). I could add each of those brushes to one tag, but this would mean I have too many brushes to display and would either need to use tiny thumbnails or need to scroll the list.

This problem could be solved by adding a second brush docker, which I could set to a different tag. I could, for instance display my erasers there, so I could leave them out from other tags. That way, I could filter my brushes more precisely and find the ones I want without scrolling or changing tags often.  
CSP users might be familiar with a “Quick access” docker, this request could give you that if you set the second docker to your favourite brush tag.

If there was an extra docker, I would make it more flexible and not just limited to brushes. Let users throw in there whatever they need.

I use a large number of layers. So I wish I could have multiple dockers, one that shows all layers and one that shows layers with specific color labels. It would be great if the palettes were the same.  
There doesn’t have to be one docker per type.

You should vote on your own topic. 🙂

The new wojtry plugin essentially does this.

I did think having tabs on the pop-uo pallette might do the trick. Each tab show a different tag selected
