Make the "more actions" functionality configurable

Created on 7 June 2025, 24 days ago

Problem/Motivation

It is very inconvenient that every other button gets hidden inside that menu. There are a number of issues relating to that.
Please, make an entity type based admin form where all the available buttons that get put into "more actions" can be selected to appear outside of that menu.

    Thinking about that issue and finding others having problems with it (e.g. https://www.drupal.org/project/workflow/issues/3458569 Support Gin action item Active )- I have to say that I get the impression that there is something inherently wrong with the gin approach of putting its own functionality buttons above other modules.
    Requiring the other modules to flag theme(!) specific attributes will only clutter the drupal code and cause
    "Latest version of Gin Admin theme hides actions behind a more actions button unless it is identified as a #gin_action_item."

    In how many modules do you expect to find #gin_action_item in the code?!

    So I suggest:

    Treat all functionality of any module as equal. Therefore making it configurable by admins: per entity type which buttons appear outside of the more actions menu and in which order.

    I also think it is a major issue, since it concerns many other modules.

    Also see this comment. https://www.drupal.org/project/save_edit/issues/3528935#comment-16138378 🐛 Save_edit in GIN admin theme in Drupal CMS (11) hardly accessible Active
    It shows that is impossible to rely on gin functionality in this matter.

    Changed to Major and BUG because it causes a lot of headaches outside of gin...
