Use case or problem
The vault selector is currently fixed at the bottom-left of the sidebar. For users who work with multiple vaults, the vault represents the highest level of the information hierarchy - you choose your vault first, then navigate within it. Having this control at the bottom feels counterintuitive from a UX perspective.
Proposed solution
Allow the vault selector (and ideally other UI elements like settings, help buttons) to be draggable and repositionable within the sidebar or interface. Users could drag these elements to their preferred location - top, bottom, or anywhere in between.
This would give users flexibility to organize their workspace according to their mental model and workflow, without requiring CSS snippets or plugins.
Current workaround
Currently, the only options are:
- Accept the fixed bottom-left position
- Hide it entirely with CSS
- Use the “Legacy Vault Switcher” plugin to revert to pre-1.6 behavior
None of these allow actual customization of position.
