The Resize Objects menu should automatically set target size if an item in the list of selected controls is double-clicked

Idea:

I propose that the resize menu is changed so that the resize is automatically executed if you double-click on a control in the list of selected items. If you only click the control once, the dimensions should just be filled into the size inputs so that they can be edited prior to clicking OK.

Background:

If you want to resize multiple controls/indicators in one operation you have the resize menu. A typical use case for this is to set all the controls to match the size of one of the selected controls. However, there is no shortcut to set the target size to match the size of a given control(!). You have to check the list of controls, find the dimensions of the control you want to match the others with, and then write in the width and height of that control into the inputs, and then click OK.
