Description

Your idea

Request for: the ability to customize the top toolbar, with custom shortcuts from Palette.

Problem to be solved

(especially on smaller displays) scrolling up and down (or extending and hiding) the palettes is too time consuming.
If one is able to shift some of them into the toolbar - it would be a significant gain for multitasking.

Research direction

Start by tracing the top toolbar and Palette UI entry points, especially how palette items are currently exposed and moved. Define how a user selects palette shortcuts and how customized items persist or reset. Done means selected Palette items can be accessed from the toolbar without repeatedly scrolling or extending palettes, including on smaller displays.
