What?
Right now we are limited to 12 options in the quickbar. Would be good to have this limit removed, and have all new quickbar options being ON by default, when a player enters a new game.
Why?
Some mods add interface buttons to the quickbar. It is almost impossible to find them, unless the player knows where to look (like in the example above).

Would be good to have all new quickbar options added automatically when a player enters a game. And then the player could remove the ones they don't want.

Actually, you can double the default 12 :

I can, but is halves the number of columns, leaving the total number of cells the same

Granted I don't use a ton of mods that add buttons to the bar, but I found that by deleting all those buttons I don't actually use (how often do you click that [ALT] button anyway?) I got it down to about 3 buttons. Maybe you could get your count down to 12?

That said, it does seem like an option that could be added. I'd also love it if the sideways placement of the toolbar could be set by the player. I'd like to see how it felt to always have it in the lower left instead of the middle.

It doesn't. It seems like it does, because it shrinks the window if some columns are not needed. But if you increase the number of rows you then can select more shortcuts to be shown next to your quickbar. (tested it with the "Shortcuts" mod)

Yeah, that option is a problem with small screens. For example on a MacBook if then two alarms pop up you don’t see the the power armor loading state anymore.

(Want to have every ui element to be moveable.)
