This issue reports a feature request (an idea for a new functionality or a missing option).
In CKEditor 4 features were able to define to which toolbar group a button should go and what's its order. Additionally, there was a predefined configuration of the toolbar layout. The developer could've added a plugin to the editor and its buttons were automatically appearing in the toolbar in predefined places.
This also allowed the developer to only change the configuration of toolbar groups, without reconfiguring the whole editor.
Another important aspect of toolbar groups based configuration was accessibility. When cycling the toolbar groups with the Tab key the user would hear the group name. This simplified navigation through the toolbar if it had many buttons.
In CKEditor 5 things are more complex and simpler at the same time:
So, for now, we'll definitely avoid working on this problem. We don't know how things will look in the future and we can live with some simple alternatives (see https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-ui/issues/155#issuecomment-282300881).
However, we may start gathering some ideas. Hence, this ticket.
