A split button consists of a "command button" and a "dropdown button". These
are two separate clickable entities. The command button behaves like a regular
toolbar button, but it displays the most recent command the user invoked from
the dropdown menu.
It was suggested by User:Theflyer to convert VE's list toolbar button into a
split button:

When selecting an item from the menu, like lists, I think the button should be
sticky and perform the action that is currently shown rather than requiring two
clicks to take an action. The example that brought this to my attention is when
creating bullets. The default icon shows a traditional bullet so when I click
on that, I expect it to just start a bullet. However, the action I get is to
open the menu where I then have to select which bullet list option I would
prefer. I think there should be a way to act on the existing icon (and it
should change to whatever I had last selected) and also a way to pull down the
list if I want to change to a different type of action. This is the way
Microsoft Word works. There are two clickable hotspots. Thanks. Don Theflyer
