Recommended by @BWPanda in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/3419

As an extra feature request, and slightly different from Drupal 8, what about also merging all the link fields together? E.g. remove 'Content: Delete link' and 'Content: Edit link' in favour of a more powerful 'Content: Link'.

Here's how it could look:

screenshot_2018-12-14 administer content content panda s backdrop sandbox 1 (I couldn't screenshot the select list open, but it'd have 'View', 'Edit', & 'Delete' as options.)

Here's the commit I made to achieve this: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop/pull/2425/commits/6a51ef7c26b92462184354683db55d9ea1b1cbda

And here's that commit as a patch file in case that code goes away somehow in the future: merge_link_fields.patch.txt

Hm, when I'd look for a delete link in Views, I wouldn't guess it's 'behind' the Content link.

I agree. Another point is when you add multiple links as you're combining, but then the view interface shows them all as "Content: Link" unless you edit the admin label.
