To me, view code is not a display action: "view code" should look different
in desktop, mobile and print view. I'd rather have "view code" in the
"Actions" menu.

About the Display option, I think that would be great. Do you also plan on
adding an autodetect based on the user agent?

Another question: should it be called "Display" or "View" ? "View" sounds
maybe a bit more intuitive than "Display" but I don't have a strong pow on
this.

I'm +1 about a "Display" or "View" menu entry with Desktop, Mobile and
Print.

Only potential issue is that it might make the top menu look a bit crowded.

See my remarks above. Great idea overall.
