Motivation
For new users, exporting documents is currently mainly exposed through:
- command palette
- code lens
- automatic export settings
Compared with preview shortcuts and code lenses, exporting is slightly less discoverable from the editor UI itself.
An optional editor toolbar button could improve UX and make export functionality easier to find, especially for users coming from more traditional IDE workflows.
Description
Add optional editor/title toolbar buttons for export-related commands.
Possible buttons:
- Export PDF
- Show PDF
- Export SVG/PNG (optional)
The feature could:
- be configurable
- be disabled by default
- simply expose existing commands through VS Code editor/title contributions
This would avoid changing existing workflows while improving discoverability.
More Examples/Questions
I’d also be interested in contributing this feature myself if the direction is acceptable.
From my understanding, this may mainly involve:
- registering editor/title menu contributions
- wiring existing commands
- adding configuration options
Questions:
- Would maintainers consider this feature aligned with Tinymist UX goals?
- Is there any preferred location/style for editor toolbar actions?
- Would a PR for this be welcome?
