Comment (by melchoyce):
Based on https://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?571, I think we should:
- Have the primary action (like update, etc.) on the left, as a primary
button.
- If relevant, list secondary actions immediately to the right of the
primary action, as secondary buttons.
- List all negative action (cancel, delete) next, as links.
In most cases, the actions should be left aligned, to line up with the
forms. This would happen on Settings, bulk edit screens, edit term
screens, etc.
In the case of things like the theme modal, actions should remain centered
(since the content within the modal doesn't follow the same left-aligned
linear path as forms do).
I don't know that these rules should apply to Gutenberg, where related
actions are already grouped together — but I'll let @karmatosed or @joen
chime in about it, since I haven't been super involved in that discussion.
