rfc on WIP of expose main functions buttons for entry under mouse approach.

To me this seems too noisy.

Perhaps simply a delete button added on the toolbar in the tool box that has the outline move buttons would be enough. Or, like seen in the first demo, buttons are only shown for the selected entry.

The selected entry behavior shown in this demo is less noisy to me than the mouse over behavior shown in the previous demo. Perhaps simply adding a delete button to the toolbar, which is also shown in this demo, may be enough?

I like it a lot. But what exactly is the difference between #1 and #2, except the yellow background?

Side note: How about using ellipsis for cut-off text?

I like it. Go with selected entry (can reach via U, D cursor movment?). Agree the on-mouseover is too noisy.
