This bug is to discuss an idea. We have a section with toolbar and an explorer inside (e.g. unstaged section on git-status2). We agreed that each item has the default action on the left and other actions are available in the toolbar when something is selected. My idea is that if just one item is selected the actions area floats to this item row. If we select more than one item, the actions area floats to the toolbar. We may use an animation similar to the one from Libing's example on Bug 374400.

I really like this idea! It reminds me of when we had the floating/hover inline actions, but that was not tablet friendly. Now that we have a selection model, it lets us bring back the idea that the actions appear when you need them, and there's none of the confusion about what it applies to.

We need a widget like this so later on we can consume it in different places. One thing I am not sure is that why do we treat single selection differently? If the single selection is out of view port I still need to see the floating bar. Maybe I am thinking something further: I was expecting the floating bar to be able to dock in page level as well(under page too bar?).

(In reply to comment #4) > Created attachment 216310 [details] > The idea shown for floating section header Perfect. And here is the third case: When the actions are not visible from view port(either in single or multiple selection case), it should goes to some where under page toolbar.

And here is the third case: > When the actions are not visible from view port(either in single or multiple > selection case), it should goes to some where under page toolbar. Actually some section header is visible all the time and is sticked to the top of the page. That is shown in attachment 216310 [details].
