Proposal to separate 'Edit' and 'Customize' in Admin Bar #271

Open Ipstenu opened 2 years ago

This is likely to be a very "Well plugins is a special fish" issue, but since the change I've been struggling with miss-clicks due to the admin bar change becuase of this:

As you can see, in order to press 'EDIT' on a plugin (which is how I get to the edit screen to fix things devs did to their plugin) I have a dropdown and have to select the 'EDIT' option.

The problem I keep having is the dropdown is relatively small and it's super easy to mis-click and end up over on another page :( It also slows me down.

Would it be possible to separate edit PAGE (which is what that button is) and Customize? or maybe remove Customize? How common is it that people need to customize the themes on our .org sites?

I've just pushed an update that uses that first item as the top-level menu item's link — does that help?

Ipstenu commented 2 years ago

That'll work for me :)

(I would still argue that .org doesn't need the customizer button at all because I don't want to be the one who's cat jumps on the keyboard and nukes a site design ;) )

Probably for most of the sites that's true, but I think that's how you edit the sidebars on the make sites. Not sure how often that needs to happen though, if it's worth keeping around just for that.

I think we can leave the Customizer item there - It's not often needed, but when it is...

Alternatively, since it's only visible for a small number of people, pushing it back to a top-level item isn't out of the question in my mind.
