Description

Describe the Feature You Want

I want a button to trigger update to appear in resource view header when resource list is hidden.

Current Behavior

I often hide resource list on the left to tile Tilt vertically with other windows. However, this means that every time I want to trigger an update, I have to open the resource list, click the button and close it back.

Here's a Jam with a demonstration: https://jam.dev/c/9da8370d-aac9-4374-9821-255bafd45189

Why Do You Want This?

I want to click less. I think that "trigger update" is one of the main actions a user can take on a resource, which means it should be right next to "Disable Resource" button.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the resource view header and the existing trigger-update action, then inspect how the resource list's hidden state changes the available controls. Done means the trigger-update button is available in the header when the resource list is hidden, alongside the disable-resource action.
