I suggest a feature be added that allows the user to right click on a cell and enable making it growable. This would so much more direct.

I probably should open a dialog when the user checks Expand for an 
element in the sizer if the row and column is not growable. I would not 
want to add too many menu items.

Maybe, the row/col options for grid sizers should be moved into a 
subdirectory. This would allow to add expand options for both row and col.

I've put that on my list. Dialog plus submenu is my preference. It won't 
happen for 0.9, though.

You can do the modification on one element, then go to the next and hit

  - Ctrl-Y or Edit -> Re-do or the Re-do tool if it's just one modification
  - Ctrl-R or Edit -> Repeat or the Repeat tool if it's more than one 
modification (as in your case)

It's documented in the tutorial and the reference, but this should 
probably be added to more sections of the tutorial. On the other hand, 
the main purpose of the main menu is to indicate the available key 
shortcuts...

For navigation, you can use the arrow keys. Often that's faster than the 
mouse.
