Have you considered using a keybind? They even show which keybind to use when you hover them.

Amazing that someone would prefer a vertical bar that is 85% empty, wasted space instead of pressing a few keys on the keyboard - for a text editor of all things.



Having keyboard shortcuts isn’t a valid reason for UI buttons to be unusable. If it should solely be accessed by a shortcut, then they should just remove the buttons altogether.


Except they aren’t unusable either.


Sometimes there may be keybinding conflicts. Since when we have started to push back on bog standard expectations like usable buttons in a UI?
