If you are looking for more features to implement :-), I suggest the following 
that was asked on the mailing-list some months ago.

The idea is adding a sort of "clipboard" tab in the toolbox, and allowing the 
user to copy a selection of controls from the form editor to this clipboard, 
and the contrary. The clipboard contents will be kept when the IDE closes, 
and will be the same for all projects.

The FForm class already has the methods to transform a selection of controls 
into a string (copy), and the contrary (paste).

But this is not an urgent feature.

Note that the FForm class will be redesigned deeply to support the edition of 
other kind of forms and controls (webforms, reports...)
