Earl Miles aka merlinofchaos, has a knack for introducing new UI elements to Drupal. See View UI , Panels UI, Modal forms ...etc. With the new revamped Views 3 interface comes a new element, the dropbutton.
The dropbutton provides a javascript based dropbutton menu. It shows up as a button with a clickable twisty pointer to the right. When clicked the button will expand, showing the list of links. This allows you to focus on the main tasks, like edit, while less-used action are within a single click. It's a neat thing that you can use on your custom modules too.
How many times have you typed <a href="http://drupal.org/project/modulename">module</a> to help someone find new modules or <a href="http://drupal.org/users/9999999999">username</a> to link to user profiles? It's a real PITA to go type all that html everytime, right? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could just write the module name or the user id and your editor would automatically find the correct module title, the right username and turn these into links? Well, there's a module for that. It's called the Drupal.org project link filter.
