Description

On my desktop I always have the kitchen sink open so that I have access to all of my tools. However, when I'm on my mobile device they totally get in the way. Like this:

We should detect if someone is on a small screen and collapse the kitchen sink menu to give more screen space.

I agree. :) Should we remember it, just like we normally do, or always fall back to collapsed? I think always collapsed is good.

Always collapsed seems fine for now. The subject of preserving interface state separately for mobile and desktop merits future discussion, however.

Thinking we should go one step further: not only remove the second row of the editor toolbar but also some of the buttons from the first row.

For example: now that we have contextual menu for aligning images, we can remove the three alignment buttons, or perhaps leave only Align Center as the most used one.

Strikethrough, Blockquote, Horizontal rule and More can probably go too. Also Unlink, links can be removed from the modal by deleting the URL.

This can be handled in WP_Editors by using wp_is_mobile() to reconfigure the buttons.

This is more of a "editor UI exploration", now superseded by the block editor.
