From a design perspective I don't like vertical separators, BUT the statusbar and the classic toolbar has vertical separators, so from the UI point of view, it is common to seprate groups of commands.
So I would say yes to vertical separators, cause we use them in the statusbar and the toolbar also.

This is how it would look with vertical separators (same color as for the toolbar/statusbar). I would not add vertical separators @pedropintosilva your choice.
The separators have to be added to the notebookbar*.js files so manual work is needed (which is the reason, that I don't like it).
Hi Andreas, hi Pedro, I would say those separators serve the purpose they are supposed to be separating the icons into the related functional areas. It is now much clearer for users that there is a relationship in these sections and is expected and the norm in a 'ribbon' like interface. I think this serves your end users better. Thanks and regards

To aid in usability it is requested that there be vertical dividing lines between grouped functions in COOL. similar to how this occurs in Microsoft Office 365 and OnlyOffice as well as the desktop applications LibreOffice, Microsoft Office, Kingsoft Office, WPS etc. This is the standard/industry way of separating functionality and is widely used in applications other than Office suites that use a 'ribbon' like interface.
This action make it explicit that icons are functionally related, when resizing windows only having white space is not as clear and can potentially cause confusion.
If not enabled by default could this be 'switched on' with a menu item?
Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like small vertical dividers be placed between grouped functional areas to aid in usability.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
If vertical lines are not possible perhaps something could be done with different contrasting colour for the functionally grouped areas.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Users that typically use 'ribbon' like interfaces expect this division of grouped areas by functionality as this is the widely used UI paradigm. This will aid in usability for COOL.
