I like this, remove the dropdown and add a New tab.
should be default

I haven't tried this, but this seems to remove the ability to do "Save and close" which is the current default.

I think it's a good idea to replace the current dropdown with something better, but I think it would be better to do as a "split button dropdown" like http://getbootstrap.com/components/#btn-dropdowns-split and have the default action be configurable via a site setting. And still be able to select and execute any of the other actions via the down arrow (it would still be one click less to run an alternate action compared to current separate dropdown).

Also just the text "Another" on the button is not good enough because it's not immediately obvious to a new user what it does.

I do not like drop-down list
even in REVO made easy.
It may want to just change the path to the select to checkboxes(styled)

I like Haprog's idea.
Save (default action Save and continue) with dropdown (Save and close; Save and add another).
Then Preview button, Cancel button, More button with Duplicate and Delete in dropdown.

i think need button without text ) and with title it will be small place

I personally don't need "Save and close" so only adding a "New page" button will do it for me.
The "bootstrap" dropdown looks good.

"Save and close" is important at least for sites with many active manager users since the document is "locked" to the user that has it open. So it makes sense to still be able to have save and close as default, but it is good to have an option in site settings to change the default.

Haprog idea looks good and to cater Dmitry :) , make a little changes and add some configuration options.
for example, to make the ability to customize the display of all other variants for elements (or the whole menu) when you hover at it. Ability to specify what items are always visible, depending on the preferences.

I dont think that "only icons" is a good way. Hard to read an icon. Icons should always be used with text labels or not used at all. Haprog and MrSwed are right in my opinion and described how it should work. I vote for that :)

For info;
I have removed all the icons on my custom styled evo manager.
Don't like them over there, text-only is clear.

Group SAVE button like (Save [N] [A] [C]) then will be small and in green style.

@Deesen Your plugin works great! Thank you. I think those features should be included in MODX by default. Love it. Thanks again.
