 others.

 formatting and one for UX.

 That's a very good point. Having an icon to open up a second row of tools
 right next to formatting is likely another reason people struggle to
 discover the kitchen sink toggle.

 I like the simplicity version, but I'm worried it might still be unclear.
 I think it might be worth getting some user feedback. I'll try hacking
 together a short a/b survey.

 > I'd also try to find a different description. "Toolbar toggle" doesn't
 tell me much. Does it make the toolbar disappear? "Toggling" is also such
 a typical computer term. I'm not actually suggesting this exact
 description, but "More buttons!" would tell me much... more.

 Agreed. "More Options" might not be a bad description.

 > "More" has a strong association with the <!--more--> tag in my head :)

 I didn't even think of that. Definitely not "More," then. :)

 [attachment:tinymce-more-3.png] takes the ••• version and aligns it to the
 right, next to the DFW toggle.
