We've discussed an editor button bar in the past, but I don't think we've ever actually opened an issue for it, so this one can be it. It's a good idea, it just has never been a priority. If you're not aware, almost all of those functions are currently available as keyboard shortcuts with optional keymaps:

Not sure how 'auto !important' worked, but it's kinda included in auto-complete:

I used to prefer buttons as well, but shortcuts are actually much more convenient once you acclimate. An editor button bar would still be a cool option though, and we could probably add a couple little features which aren't currently available.

Thanks for the infos ! I am not a big fan of shortcut (yes, need practice) but it's a good alternative to nothing. Stylus became very good (and complex in the same way), but it follows the right side. That's a good news. Wait and see.....

I personally oppose this suggestion, there is no need to add editor button bar, this makes the page UI cluttered and adds complexity, and this is a web-editor, not a client-editor..

Instead, you should be familiar with some of the most commonly used shortcuts. It is more convenient and more efficient and more directly , When you get used to it, you will fall in love with shortcuts...

People usually dig up old issues they support, and wanna bring attention to. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by disagreeing with an issue which hasn't even been mentioned in a year.

Editor toolbars would be a fine feature, they've just never been a priority. Of course we'd either hide them by default, or provide an option to do so.

Haa.. thanks narcolepticinsomniac ! Maybe possible in future version ? "The "Stylish Editor²" i use, as a clever settings panel, where we can chose what icons we want and in which place / order we want put it. It should be great and possible, with a fixed header like i tested in: Stylus Editor: Fixed Header

In the same idea, "Stylish Editor²" give the possibility to edit the auto " !important ": In stylus when typing"" ! " it write it without the semi-colon. I prefer with semi-colon: No possibility to forgot it, not need to extra typing . PS: I use a lot:
