When any view is open in the designer the “gear tab” is the only way to access the Page Configuration screen. This did not feel super intuitive, and I actually wrote a whole post thinking there was no way to find it without all views being closed. On my last “idiot-check” before posting I found it.

From a navigation standpoint, it would be quite helpful to have the Page Configuration window appear when the “Perspective” item and/or “Views” folder are selected in the Project Browser.

Not a bad suggestion - the gear can be easy to miss. Another idea might be to use the perspective root node itself a trigger to swap to that panel, rather than adding another leaf to the tree. Isn’t as explicit, but might be an intuitive place for people to click.
