Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

We ran into the same situation last quarter. What worked for us was starting small and only adding complexity when a real need showed up.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Short answer: yes, and here is the supported path.

  1. Open the relevant settings panel.
  2. Make the change there rather than editing files.
  3. Save, then reload to confirm.

Doing it this way means your change survives updates. Hand-editing files does not.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.
