Thought it would be nice to hide the second row of icons on the editor to provide a cleaner look.
There are a lot of options, and many are infrequently used and probably never to many users.
I've tried to re-organize them and only place ones that I think :thinking: are the most commonly used, and the rest are hidden until you click on that vertical row of dots.
Let me know your thoughts :D
Quote and Code should be added to the top row, IMHO. :smiley:
I don't recall seeing the list buttons used often (on my own site or this one), if there is a need to depreciate some in order to elevate others to the the top row, but unless someone is running a technical site (or something requiring technical instruction - it might be confusing if not) I'm not sure the code button is that important either , and the quote button is easily replicated (for most intents and purposes ) with a copy and paste and a couple of keyboard quote key presses. So, I'm not advocating any change to the way you have it Spuds, nor opposed to Burke Knights suggestion either. I'm easy, I can live with it either way. :man_shrugging:
Plus for quote we already got "quote selected" a simple highlight and click.
Not all quotes are from the same site, don't forget.
I for one frequent sites where people quote log errors, etc. into posts on the forums.
Those were the two that I went back and forth on. I use code often here, but not on other sites that I occasionally spam on. Quote for me tends to be covered by the "quote selected" feature or simple quote the whole thing. That said everyone has different usage styles.
This is part of the decision process. I don't want to end up with so many on the top row that it becomes overwhelming. I agree lists are one option to put in the hidden row, more of a special needs and I just tend to use the short syntax list feature anyway.
Another option (potential) is to collapse the right, left, center, pre options into a drop down (like the font or color picker). That way instead of 4 spots in the menu, its only 1. Here again only center is probably used, I don't see the other used at all.
I don't really get you on that. The quote button also doesn't directly support quoting from other sites as well; and if you are using quote selected feature you can simply modify / delete the quote early parts (author, link and date). It is better and faster than quote button, at least to me.
Maybe hide all, and make a simple "Formatting" toggle?
