Give the shape editor (Appearance > Edit Shape, panel_edit_shape.xml) the same makeover Photo Studio got in #444 (4f851234a2, 5dbd6fd35e). Today it is one long accordion with nine sections: Body, Head, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth, Chin, Torso and Legs. You can only work on one part at a time, and sliders from different sections can't be seen side by side.

Target (mirror Photo Studio)

Up to 4 panels, laid out 1, 2 or 4, chosen from a layout control in a shared top bar. Each panel has a section dropdown at its top that picks which shape section it shows.
Configurable the same way: the layout and each panel's section are remembered (settings like SLPhotoStudioLayout / SLPhotoStudioPanels, e.g. SLShapeEditorLayout / SLShapeEditorPanels). Panels pop out into their own window, keyed by panel, as SLFloaterPhotoStudioPane does. Closing a popped-out window puts the panel back, and popped-out panels are remembered.
One instance per panel, like SLPanelPhotoStudioSection. The same section can be open in two panels; they stay in sync through the visual params and never reach into each other's widgets.
Find (Ctrl+F) for a slider by name: jump to it in the focused panel, or the first panel, switch that panel to its section, focus the slider and highlight its caption. Ctrl+1..4 focus a panel's dropdown.
Fit sections with setShape after addChild; see the 5dbd6fd35e sizing fix.

Keep working

Save / Save As / Revert, the wearable's modified state, the camera framing each section uses (it zooms to the head, legs and so on). With several panels, framing should follow the focused panel.
Undo/redo if the editor has it. The other wearable editors (skin, hair, eyes, clothing layers) can share the same frame later; scope this ticket to the shape first unless the shared part comes for free.
Bento / extended-shape sliders, if any are exposed, should be selectable sections too.

Explore: resizable windows everywhere + content-driven layout (text wrap / self-sizing elements) so custom fonts fit #665
