Editor Actions

Editor actions can appear in the editor toolbar. You can either add an icon as a quick action or add menu item under the overflow menu (...).

✔️ Do

• Show only when contextually appropriate
• Use icons from the icon library
• Use the overflow menu for secondary actions

❌ Don't

• Add more than one icon
• Add custom colors
• Use emojis

This example from the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension opens a diff view and only shows on files with changes.
