Move ribbon right

Use case or problem

The ribbon should be repositionable, just like macOS dock or Windows taskbar. Here’s why:

  1. When working with multiple applications, flexible ribbon placement can optimize screen real estate.
  2. When using Obsidian on tablets, the preferred ribbon position may depend on hand dominance.
  3. On wider displays, accessing a left-sided ribbon means longer mouse travel.
  4. Different workflows and desk setups may benefit from alternative ribbon positions.
  5. Users with physical limitations might find certain ribbon positions easier to access.
  6. I imagine that those using Obsidian in a right-to-left language will appreciate this in particular.
  7. Maybe it just looks right :slightly_smiling_face:

Proposed solution

Add an option to move the ribbon to the right. For convenience, the option should reside alongside Hide ribbon:

Current workaround (optional)

Can be achieved with Custom CSS but tooltips will be broken.
