Cool Editor Tabs enhances the appearance and usability of Drupal's editor tabs (View, Edit, Translate, etc.), making them more accessible and visually consistent.
🔹 How it works:
- A toggle button is displayed at a fixed position on the screen.
- Clicking it reveals the editor tabs as intuitive, icon-based buttons.
- Only authenticated users with the "Use Cool Editor Tabs" permission will see the tabs, keeping the interface clean for visitors.
🔹 Features:
- Beautiful Heroicons v2 icons for all common tabs (Edit, Delete, Translate, Revisions, Layout, Clone and more).
- Built-in icon support for popular contrib modules: Metatag, Pathauto, Redirect, Webform, Scheduler, Simple XML Sitemap, Content Moderation and Rabbit Hole.
- First-letter fallback for tabs without a matching icon — no more white circles for unknown tabs.
- Configurable colors via Administration → Configuration → User interface → Cool Editor Tabs, with a built-in real-time WCAG 2.1 contrast checker.
- Developer API: implement
hook_cool_editor_tabs_icon_alter()to provide custom icons for your own module's tabs. - Drupal Icon API integration — the icon pack is available to other modules.
🔹 Requirements:
- Drupal 11.1 or higher
