UI priority: what should be in the toolbar?

[ThiloteE]

Summary

1. status quo is:
   1.1. ‘minimize clicks’;
   1.2. Too many buttons in UI?
   1.3. Almost no text in UI; Mostly symbols

2. Change could be:
   2.1. Consolidation and merging buttons into one button or at least less buttons.
   2.2. Buttons with Symbol and Text next to it.
   2.3. Buttons without Symbol and only text
   2.4. Changing Symbols and renaming buttons.

3. Hence, critical decision that have to be made (if doing a rework on this):
   3.1. Minimize clicks vs. clean UI (merged button).
   3.2. Clean simple and orderly UI with small buttons (for powerusers) vs. UI (e.g. with text) that is easy to understand on first glance (for new users).

4. Compromise X that allows to merge the 4 buttons new article new entry Import by ID and New entry from plain text into one without increasing the amount of clicks for powerusers would be to

   4.1. Add keybindings (keyboard-shortcuts) in the submenu for new article Import by ID and new entry from plain text
   4.2. Make It so that import by ID is the preferred option and when clicking on the new single consolidated button the cursor automatically jumps to the import by ID field. This leads to equal amount of clicks for import by ID field, but more clicks for new article and new entry from plain text, unless option 4.1 is implemented.
   4.3. Rename new article (which is now hidden in a submenu behind the ONE button) to new entry and give it a remember function that remembers the article type that was chosen in the current old new entry dialogue.

   A rough example for Compromise X would be:

   

   and in the main menu you would see this:
