--- Comment #13 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
We've been kicking around the section editing behavior a fair bit, and we
recognize the need for more flexibility, in part because the mouseover
interface doesn't translate well to touch-based user interfaces. (We also
recognize that section-editing in VisualEditor overall is still a bit of a
crutch, but that's a larger discussion.)

What James and I would like to suggest here is a multi-way pref:

Section editing links
(x) Hybrid edit / edit source links [default]
( ) Edit sections via VisualEditor
( ) Edit sections as wikitext
( ) Disable section editing

The section editing feature is already disable-able, so we could just merge the
pref.

Having three modes may seem like overkill at this stage but James feels that
having an option for VisualEditor specifically at least puts a flag in the
ground that we want to continue to improve section editing usability.

If folks think that's too much, we could just have a single

[ ] Support section editing via VisualEditor 

checkbox as this point, enabled by default, which turns on or off the hybrid
mode.

We don't love the [ edit ] [ edit source ] static links, because it feels
cluttered and not the kind of user experience that we want to support.

Thoughts? If either of these feels like a reasonable path forward, we can
re-use this bug to track it, or start a new one.
