Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.As of now, the link to configure a section is displayed as a text link. The link to remove a section is displayed as a button.
It would be more consistent with the contextual links to move, update, remove blocks to also have contextual links for the section links.

vbouchetFind a patch to achieve it.
Please note that the patch update the layout twig files. If the layout twig files are customised on your project, you probably need to add
{{ title_suffix }}attribute for the contextual link to render.I have not created any test on purpose as I suspect it will require a lot of discussion before it can be merged in core and the implementation may change.

johnpitcairn commentedI'm not personally a fan of contextual links, they add a discoverability barrier, and everything winds up looking the same. If consistency is the goal, I'd prefer blocks didn't use them either.

danielvezaI feel like this one should be tagged as needing Usability review as it's a pretty big UI change for LB.
My 2c is that I'm not a big fan of the idea, I feel like having these links as contextual links hides them a bit too much. There is already quite a few contextual links on a page built with LB. Adding more to configure sections as well as blocks makes this messy in my eyes
