Profields Matrix - do not list out action buttons

[Chris Falkenstein]

The new matrix field lists out the action buttons (e.g. add text, add quote, etc.). The buttons quickly run out of real estate. It's not very scalable. I would like to suggest that we have one action button, maybe just 'add' which upon clicking reveals all the available repeater items (e.g. text item, quote item, etc.). Consider the animated gif shown at the address below (taken from a page builder plugin for one of my other favorite CMS).

Thoughts?

How many items do you have at max?

I prefer being able to see all items and for editors it is easier to understand. So if it breaks multiple lines it's OK to me.

Hi. To answer your question, It varies. I could have two. I could have ten or more. I don't want to be limited by the concern that my buttons are going to take up too much real estate.

I think squeezing them in dropdown would optimize the UI for edge case, instead of the most common ones (1-5 options). 

That might be nice additional module, but I think current default works better in most cases.
