Working with WordPress on a 13″ Framework notebook as I do when writing for Tested Technology, it’s practically mandatory to set the screen options to single column to make the most of the limited screen real estate.

But if you do this, the control buttons you need (occasionally) to Publish or Update, or (very often) to review the Preview are no longer to hand in the second column and are generally out of reach most of the time.

This strikes me as a design shortcoming in WordPress and one I’ve sought to solve through a variety of approaches over the course of more than a year. FibroJedi’s plug-in is the fix I was looking for.

I run it with 10% opacity, 70% from the top so that it’s always handy but not in the way. Ideally, I’d like to be able to make its dialogue box smaller and place it with a little more granularity. But as it stands it’s changed the way I work with WordPress. I’m very grateful.

I use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) on practically every WordPress site I create. I recently created an Option page with a Repeater field that was getting very long. The Submit button is way at the top of the page so I would add a row at the bottom and have to scroll up to the top to submit. UGH! This plugin added a Submit button in the top bar so it’s always available no matter how long the Option page gets. Fantastic time saver!
