New UI Question: is there a way to keep these (right) buttons always visible, instead of having to hover over it? If they are visible I know where to go and click, but with hover I need to first put it above, wait the hover, identify what icon I want to click, and finally click (besides sometimes they just disappear because my cursor went a little out) - I didn’t realise how much I use those icons until they started to disappear and frustrated me.

If that is not the right place to ask those questions, let me know where I should do it.

I asked the same on intellij slack 😂 AFAIK there is no way

It seems that it's possible on Intellij, but I dont yet see it on AS Giraffe:

Search for "Option to always show tool window icons"

Yes the advanced setting was introduced in IJ 23.1, so Giraffe won’t have it as it’s based on 22.3.

Also totally want it to be Hippo.

Yeah there’s a handful of changes coming in 23.1 that will be great for the new UI: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2023/03/new-ui-enhancements-in-intellij-idea-2023-1
