1. There's not enough space (at least if the frame is 80 columns wide)
to add buttons without removing others. At least with my settings,
there no room for any additional button on the standard tool bar.
2. The tool bar should only contain buttons for the most important
commands. If too many buttons are present, it might be less
helpful / confusing.
3. Which buttons from the standard tool bar would be very useful in
the info mode tool bar (or other major modes) as well? Please give
concrete examples rather than general statements like "other
toolbar buttons". At least <save-buffer>, <write-file>, <undo>,
<cut>, <paste> are neither important nor useful (IMHO) in info
mode.
Bye, Reiner.
