quickbars_insert_toolbar on top instead of right

Hi

Is there a way to show the quickbars_insert_toolbar on top of the text/new line rather than to the right.

Thanks

I'd love to know this too. The current behavior seems awkward, as it is over the area the user is probably trying to type in.

It's over the space we know with absolute certainty will be blank every time the bar is shown. When the user starts typing, the bar disappears.

Thanks TheSpyder. The quickbars_selection_toolbar is on top or bottom depending on available space. Couldn't quickbars_insert_toolbar do that too? The current behavior seems sort of "pushy" to me, like it almost seems like it is pressuring the user (or at least pushing their focus) to click a button instead of type, even though typing is the expected majority behavior. I understand it goes away once they DO start typing. I dunno.

Selection does that because it tries to avoid covering content around the selection. Insert has an opportunity to not cover any content, so it takes it.

For UX discussion I'll defer to @lostkeys as to whether we might consider adding an option to have insert behave like selection.
