I think - you're right. :)
* GROUPBY & HAVING could be implemented the same way, we did for ORDERBY
& CRITERIA respectively.

I was also thinking about this option.
* One way is - we create a toolbar near the join for changing the join-type.
* And other is - we enable the UP/DOWN keys to change the join-type,
while join is selected. But, the problem with this is - this feature
will not be directly visible to users, and they won't be able to use
until they experienced it. :(

So, I am thinking to go for the option one only.
I will send a patch for it when time permits.
I have something else in my plate on priority basis for right now. :(

Thanks & Regards,
Ashesh
