Move the save configuration button

+1 to this feature! Thanks for the mod. Maybe integration in the admin project (drupal.org/project/admin) would be nice.

Came here to request the same thing.

Just noticed that if you focus on the search field and press enter it seems to submit and save, so that might be faster until the button can be moved.

I'm hesitant to create a duplicate button. Perhaps make the box the button exists in appear attached to the bottom of the browser window when the list of tabs is too long then when scrolling down pass the tabs it hangs on to the tabs. Similar to the sticky headers for tables. Of course the sticky headers uses a duplicate headers table and I'm not sure this idea could be done well without the use of duplicates. Any ideas?

Wanted to update, there is an experimental feature in the latest 6-dev release that helps keep the 'Save configuration' button accessible when the tabs list gets exceedingly long. Still has some work to do as I want to make it also stick to the top of the window when scrolled past the tabs list (when there are numerous moduels in the tab like the 'all' tab).

Was going to add this feature request but saw it's already here. +1 & subscribing. =)

Take in account than the save configuration button is to big on some language.

What we can do is make the filter fixed (always on top of the screen) and add the save button in the same area.

Lovely Module, I would love to see that button on the top, it will make the life more easier.

@gagarin, @digitalexperts
try adding this into Seven theme CSS (or the default theme your admin page is using) and you will have the submit button with filter fixed on top:

#module-filter-wrapper input[value="Save configuration"]{
position: fixed;
top: 50px;
}

#module-filter-wrapper .form-item-module-filter-name {
position: fixed;
top: 50px;
left: 30%;
}

#9 Is a great work around! Thanks

Moving to the 2.x branch.

Thought: What if there was a quick little piece of JavaScript written to cause the save config button to become "sticky" once scrolled past?

@mglaman take a look at the Module Filter settings page (/admin/config/user-interface/modulefilter), enable "Dynamically position Save button". Alternatively have a look at Page actions

The save button in its current position is a UX problem, because it ends up in the middle of the page when there is a long list of modules.

This makes it very hard to get to -- you have to scroll up and down until you see it go past, and often overshoot.

The button needs to be either at the top of the form, or the very bottom of the form.

There is an option (on by default) that keeps the save button in a manageable position at all times. It is positioned fixed to the bottom of the window when the tab list is longer than the window. The tab list is also kept presentable by fixing to the bottom of the window when you would have otherwise scrolled past it. Try it out (2.x branch).

There is also the Page Actions module (https://drupal.org/project/page_actions) which strives to make a page's form actions easily accessible across the entire site.
