[tw5] Re: Modifying the "More actions" menu
Thanks Tony.
For the record, I've decided to take the following route:
1. Open the shadow tiddler *$:/core/ui/Buttons/more-tiddler-actions*
2. Modify the list filter inside of this shadow tiddler so that it
excludes the list items I don't want to see
I've also made a copy of the modified shadow tiddler's text field in a
separate tiddler in case I ever need to bring back my changes.
If I ever need to bring back the "factory" version, all I need to do is
delete the modified (overwritten) shadow tiddler. That's the beauty of
shadow tiddlers in general.
Now I only have the stuff that I need:

Thanks everyone for your help. Issue solved.
By the way, the built in class *.tc-drop-down* causes the More tiddler
actions dropdown to overflow viewport on mobile, because its max-width is
set to 380px for some reason. Most mobile browsers in mobile view have a
viewport width of 360px today, so I've targeted that with a media query in
my own stylesheet like below, but that's an unrelated note to anyone
interested:
@media (max-width: 650px) {
.tc-drop-down {
min-width: 360px;
}
}
Regards,
Hubert

Hubert, A good design approach is to rule something into existence rather than hacking the default behavior to rule something out. Its a bit more long winded but would be a more versatile option. - Create a new More Drop down menu and add only the buttons you want in the new more dropdown - Hide the standard more drop down button from display on the view toolbar. - With a little reference to the current methods you could have another "more toolbar" settings like the current. I have actually done this before.

[tw5] Re: Modifying the "More actions" menu
Thank you all. I should have stressed that I'm only interested in what's shown when clicking on the "More actions" button. I'm not trying to hide this button itself or any other button on the same level for that matter. I am trying to hide what's *revealed* by the "More actions" button (stuff "beneath" it). Birthe, you've actually pointed me in the right direction -- I do need to edit the filter in the shadow tiddler *$:/core/ui/Buttons/more-tiddler-actions* by manually removing references to anything I don't need. I'll do that tomorrow and think this should do the trick. Thank you! PS. Mat, although that's not exactly what I needed, it's great that you've spotted the UI inconsistency there by the way.

Hubert, as the others correctly point out, you set it where they state. What is not clear, however, is that unchecked items *means* that it goes into the more dropdown. IMO this UI is not clear.

The tag $:/tags/ViewToolbar places any button on the view toolbar. Removing that tag removes it from the toolbar. '<>' allows you to view and open the tiddlers.

Under control panel, appearance, toolbars, view toolbar you can set and unset items to appear on your tiddler toolbar. You can even drag and drop items to rearrange the order in which they appear.

Hubert, When upgrading it is not good to have overwritten shadow tiddlers. But you could edit $:/core/ui/Buttons/more-tiddler-actions. Edit the list filter.
