Comment (by celloexpressions):

 I think the keyboard accessibility challenges with absolutely positioning
 everything relative to the body likely prevent that from being viable.
 What about putting the icons in a container, positioned as they currently
 are and adding `float:left;`, and adding `position:relative`, then
 positioning absolutely to the left of that?

 And actually, if we switch to using dashicons, the button could be left-
 floated with 0 width and relative positioning and `:before` could be
 positioned absolutely relative to that, with a negative `left`.
