Please move the "Outline View" icon and display to the left hand side of the window

with all the other feature activating/view icons, so its presence won't unnecessarily use screen real estate on the right side of the window.

Do it like VSCode please

Thanks for letting us know.

For the record: the default, classic layout does not include the Outline view; if you want to gain an additional 50 px, you can right-click on it and select Close.

Thank you, however no such thing appears on macos 10.13.6 right-click (presumably a ctrl-click) to remove the right-hand control icon column, and corresponding outline control icon positioned there, the only thing any type of click on the outline icon does is to toggle the display of the outline pane, which doesn't itself appear to work yet (displaying: No outline information available).

Maybe this is should really be a personal choice, users should be able to decide whether to place icons to enable certain features on the right or left hand columns, and such that if none are placed in one or the other, the space reverts for use by the editor/console sub-windows. But if too complicated, then maybe all control icons should be placed in the left hand icon column, as someone else noted VSCode does; as having both if non-configurable, arguably just takes up space and adds little if any utility.

(As an aside, the minimum window sizes have already been made too large to be properly displayed on smaller screens; saving strictly unnecessary use of window space can only help the situation.)

Strange, it works for me:

[paschlie]

Please notice the "outline view" icon is always present without any way to disable it with any key-click combination I can find:

And when "outline view" is displayed, it does not contain anything useful on my installation, and never noticed it ever doing so?:

You have to pick a board to start the language server and have the Outline view populated. (See the specification for 'textDocument/documentSymbol' here if you're interested.)

[paschlie]

Selecting a board doesn't seem to make any difference, but if significant here are the messages present after selecting the board (and not sure why it should make a difference, but why can't the "outline view" icon and corresponding right-hand icon column be dismissed, does it somehow rely on "outline-view" working properly? And the bottom of my window is still cut off as it's minimum dimensions are larger than the screen):
