[Feature Request] Reordering of gui elements #3528

Open ElNico56 opened 3 weeks ago

ElNico56 commented 3 weeks ago

Title says it all, i'd like to be able to switch around the order of the gui elements like the tabbar, buffer, infobar, and message/commandbar, for instance i'd like to have the infobar above the buffer, and tabbar, if present, above that, i think one way to make this intuitive is an option not unlike statusformat that tells micro where to order the displayed elements, where the default would be "tabbar,buffer,statusbar,keymenu,infobar,commandbar" or something along these lines, whereas my desired order is "tabbar,statusbar,infobar,buffer,keymenu,commandbar" this 'menus' or 'gui order' option could even deprecate the current per-element on/off options, as you can turn off or on the elements by adding them or not to the menus option
