Since even if you aren't changing the properties they are still needed to define the default values, you can either right-click and pick "non-default properties only" (which admittedly only works AFTER you've set the property to a non-default value) or settle for a cast for the carpal tunnel problem (sorry, couldn't resist the 'joke' as I mouse with a bad hand and shoulder myself)

I'm getting carpal tunnel from scrolling through all the properties each time.
