Make it yours
Customize the edit bar and selection bar
Both action bars show a few actions and hide the rest. Which few is up to you.
Customizing the bars is part of Twos Plus. Plus
Why you'd care
Each bar holds as many actions as you put on it, and everything else waits one tap away in its More (⋯) sheet. The bar scrolls sideways, and how many actions fit before you have to scroll depends on your screen, so put the ones you use most at the front.
This is the highest-frequency customization in the app.
The two bars
The edit bar appears while you are editing a thing. Candidates: indent, outdent, to-do toggle, reminder, photo, tag, note, divider, move.
The selection bar appears when things are selected. Candidates: move, tag, complete, delete, share, reminder, format. Plus
Choosing well
Watch yourself for a day. The actions you reach for are rarely the ones you would have guessed.
For most people the selection bar wants Move and Tag first, because those are the two that pay off most in bulk.
Going further
Some actions are locked in place, since a bar without its core actions would be broken. Everything else is free to move.
Order is per bar. The edit bar and selection bar are configured separately, because the useful actions genuinely differ.
Settings that change this

- Settings Appearance & accessibility Left-handed mode moves the primary controls.
Tips
- Keep Tag on the selection bar. Tagging ten things at once is the biggest single time saver available.
- If you keep opening the More sheet for the same action, add it to the bar. If you never open More, your bar is right.
