makes the UI easier to read, and improves flow

This suggestion is unique

  • [X] I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

I suggest that in every part of the user interface for the PolyMC launcher, the "Edit Instance", "Edit Notes", "View Mods", "View Worlds", and "Manage Screenshots" buttons be merged into one button, since they all lead to the same console window. This would, in my opinion, make using the launcher less intimidating for new users, improve "workflow" for average users, and increase the aesthetic beauty of the interface. In addition, I suggest that the "Minecraft Folder", "Config Folder", and "Instance Folder" buttons be grouped into one single button as well. This would serve the same purpose as the aforementioned changes suggested, as all three buttons open your computer's file manager to a specific path. Seeing as all three paths are less than one folder apart from each other, I find having all three as separate buttons tedious and unnecessary. Thank you for reading my suggestion, and feel free to discuss the proposed changes at will.

I also suggest merging "Install Forge", "Install Fabric", "Install Quilt", and "Install LiteLoader" into "Install Modloader >" It would also allow us to cram more options into the UI without making it more cluttered, if we wanted to

well, that would create another submenu, so perhaps that one should stay as is. I just suggested that the buttons that all lead to the same context menu be grouped into one.
