Display section links (remove, configure) as contextual links in layout builder

Created on 23 February 2023, almost 2 years ago

Updated 7 February 2024, 11 months ago

As of now, the link to configure a section is displayed as a text link. The link to remove a section is displayed as a button.

It would be more consistent with the contextual links to move, update, remove blocks to also have contextual links for the section links.

Needs usability review
Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.

I'm not personally a fan of contextual links, they add a discoverability barrier, and everything winds up looking the same. If consistency is the goal, I'd prefer blocks didn't use them either.

I feel like this one should be tagged as needing Usability review as it's a pretty big UI change for LB.

My 2c is that I'm not a big fan of the idea, I feel like having these links as contextual links hides them a bit too much. There is already quite a few contextual links on a page built with LB. Adding more to configure sections as well as blocks makes this messy in my eyes
