The Tool Preset Editor has a context menu, that can be reached from the little triangle dock menu, then choosing Tool Preset Editor Menu. Besides two items that do the same as the save and restore buttons mentioned above, it only has one other option.

When enabled, the tool preset editor will automatically load the currently active tool preset. If it is disabled, the tool preset editor will not change when the active tool preset changes.
