Confused why there are 2 icons #161

I'm a bit confused by the second dot. In theory just have everything left of the first dot get hidden. The second one seems redundant and shows next to the first one whenever you unhide.

Am I missing something?

when you have a lot of icons, they are hiding behind "file, edit, view" text etc, so use place between dots for icons which are you using sometimes and want it visible when needed

I'm still confused 😅 . Can someone demonstrate with a detailed example? I am definitely missing something. Thank you.

EDIT: Oh never mind, I just figured it out. In case anyone else is confused: the rightmost dot can be placed as far right as necessary so that it is always visible. If we only had the leftmost dot, then it could itself end up hidden behind application menu items. Maybe this would be clearer if the two dots had different icons (like how Hidden does it).

I'm confused too. The first (leftmost) dot seems useless to me.
