Add a new button for adding links

[trmdi]

Could you add a small auto-hide button for adding new links, similar to the "Add a new group" button? This button could be always visible when there is no link at all.

I know I can add new links from inside the "Setting" button, or by right-clicking in the link area, but they're not as visible as the "Add new group" button. Also, when you already have a long list of links added, you have to right-click in the tiny gap between links, which is quite challenging...

When do you propose the button would reveal itself?

When do you propose the button would reveal itself?

When the link area is empty: always display
Otherwise, when the user hovers the mouse over that area.

That was my concern. Although I like the overall idea, I personally would prefer not to have UI elements appearing and disappearing as the user moves the cursor around the Bonjourr page. Can you suggest a way to keep the overall goal without having elements appear/disappear as the user moves the cursor (or extra always-visible elements)? Off the top of my head, an "edit mode" is the most common way to do this. What do you think?

Hello @trmdi and @Gitoffthelawn !

This is exactly the reason why we did not add a "+" on links, it would be very distracting to see it appear everytime we want to click on a link.

We did that for link groups though because the UI is much clearer that way. Still, I'm not a fan.

Having an "edit mode" or "locked" links would be the best solution indeed. Like in this issue: #287
