Hi Sal, I really like this idea and thanks for sharing it. Based on the user research we are currently doing, this user feedback has indeed been in high demand!
To allow the user to perform in context task controls, is certainly something we would like to ensure is on our future design roadmap.
Is there anything you have in mind with regards to Moodle's interface, where you feel this change in the UI would have the highest value? An example of where in the system such as course setting etc.. wherever you feel this would help you the most allows us to prioritise these interactions as we would have to roll something like this out incrementally - so it would be good to know in your opinion, where you think would be most useful to have this.
Thanks
Candice
