Comment (by afercia):

 > Would it be possible to go with "Actions" instead of "Media Types"

 There's already a visually hidden heading "Available actions" placed
 before the bottom toolbar, see #47610. A toggle button named "Actions"
 placed in a different section would be a bit confusing.

 I'd totally agree this toggle button (and the companion heading from
 #47610 would need a more generic name as the menu items relate to
 different actions. There are also "Edit" and "Cancel" actions in the sub
 views, see attached screenshot for some examples.

 Maybe something like "Manage media" or just "Manage"?

 Worth also reminding this toggle button appears only in the responsive
 view, while the heading is visible only on desktop.

 I'm not sure I know what "Shortcake" is and what it does in the media
 views. Not sure other contributors or readers know as well. Can you please
 add some more details for reference and also for history when this ticket
 will be read a few years from now?

 Regardless, I'm not sure core should base UI improvements on what plugins
 do in absences of a formal API or formalized UI patterns. :)
