PR views: do not use inline actions #2179
Description
From Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn)
Currently the PR extension uses inline actions for the following cases that I could find
PULL REQUESTS: Open Pull Request Description to the Side
ISSUES: Start Work on Issue and Open Issue
Might there be more I am missing?
My suggestion: to make the whole view experience calmer do not use inline actions. Simply put those actions in the context menu. Especially for the PULL REQUESTS view since the action does not seem that important.
In issues view I would do the same and just make double click to start work on issue (if you can distungish single vs double click). Or Enter. And same as in PULL REQUESTS view I would simply add these actions to the context menu
Inline actions are hectic, they appear and disapear and they add unneded details to an already full view.
Just my 2 cents.

I see the goal of inline actions as twofold:
I think that there are several inline actions that do not fit that paradigm. We should do a deliberate pass over inline actions, but I don't think we will remove all of them.
