I guess I am not quite clear of the special functionality of a palette
stack. The docs explanation seems to be just that it is an non-editable
stack with a narrower title bar.

Does moving the cursor into a stack that is a palette always force the
browser tool to be selected?

Is it just not practical to attempt to keep the tools as buttons in the same
card I am modifying/drawing into?
