icons rather than menus on selection boxesspace

Here is an example of making me work too hard. Ok, not really hard work but not something I want to think about or go through nearly every time I make something. Direction, Operation and extents.

I would really prefer a row of icons instead of drop down menus here. They wouldn't take up any more space and would be quicker to select. Most of the time when extruding, I want to make a new part, but it defaults to 'join'. If I forget, I need to undo or split body, whatever is quicker at the time. Direction, same thing. I don't want to click a menu, then select. I just want to select. Distance, ditto. to, next, all, etc. Menus are a real dampener to flow, especially when icons are just quicker to see and click. You have one icon and a drop down to access the others. This makes no sense to me. 

These are minor things but they are annoyances and slow down the process when the menus could be replaced with a row of icons as seen in the drop downs.
