Make align/do not align to baseline be available on the text control panel at top as well as on para control panel.
It is great how, at the top of the Indesign work area, when you choose the text portion of the control panel, you can still (at far right) access some paragraph tools (spacing, etc.); and how when you choose the para portion of the control panel, text tools are also still available at far right. Perhaps there is a reason I haven't thought out as yet why my idea hasn't been done, but I have to, I am CONSTANTLY needing to access the align/do not align to baseline tool when I'm in text mode, and I have to keep switching back to the para mode to get to it! It's such a small tool. Is there any way to incorporate it onto the text bar the same way you have incorporated other para bar tools? That would be so helpful! Thanks for any consideration

You can access this by script. Here is one to cycle thru the 4 modi, easy to modify to what you need, eg switch from top to bottom and vice verse...
if (app.documents.length == 0) {
alert("Keine Dokument geöffnet.");
} else {
try {
switch (app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification) {
case VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN: app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN;break;
case VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN: app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;break;
case VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN: app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN;break;
case VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN: app.selection[0].textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN;break;
}
} catch(e) {alert("Fehler.\r"+e)};

The tool is available in the top panel. But it sounds like your monitor is too small for it. I'm on a 27" and it's comfortably there. The size allows the character and the paragraph tools to be completely in the top panel. Think about buying a bigger monitor – in my eyes it's worth every cent!
