Allow more than 9 items in the title bar

Open selrond opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently, there are only 9 items allowed in the title bar. Is there any specific reason for that? On the first screenshot, there are only 6 but as soon as I click Open Changes with Revision..., and multiple diff-related buttons show up, it’s impossible to have more than 9 in total, despite a lot of free space being available.

I agree, it would be nice to explore a different approach here. Instead of having a max number of actions, there could be a maximum available width which the toolbar could use to fill as many actions that fit.

Yes please. I am using a custom toolbar extension which allows the user to add a number of desired buttons in this space. But no more than 9 of them will show up. (Better yet, I would like VS Code to have its own optional toolbar, but I suppose that would be another issue.)

https://github.com/GorvGoyl/Shortcut-Menu-Bar-VSCode-Extension is something Vscode should have added like 5+ years ago already.. but here we are limited by the stupidity of people at MS where even with some third party adding what MS can't be bothered to do, we still suffer the lameness of a custom toolbar that can only have 9 icon. Thanks MS https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/41309#issuecomment-2424975857 how many useless updates to VScode before you bother adding something actually useful to improve the UX.
