Generally, I like the proposal. A sticky save button
is clearly the
solution.
However, the mobile view is a mess:

Side note: I think it`s a good time to address the "Save & Continue" +
"Save & View" duality that I found deeply confusing when I first started
with XWiki. If we take it down to only 2 buttons (Save + Cancel), it will
improve the mobile view as well.
My last note about the proposal is related to the sticky state visible in

... I`m not sure on the technical aspects, but I would still prefer it to
"stick" only to the content area and not overflow to the entire width of
the screen and go into panels or whatever the skin might have around the
content area (in edit mode).
Thanks,
Eduard

Currently it is on a separate line. I tried to integrate everything in a
single line, that will be always visible, although I agree we have many
functionalities (autosave, summary, minor, preview, etc.) and they look a
bit crowded.
Usually save is a the bottom. Still the same view will be also in Full
Screen and the top area is already taken by the CkEditor controls, see

Hi Guillaume,
They are not separate proposals, just one, but it looks a bit different
when it's fixed at bottom, versus in its position. Just wanted to make clear.
Beginner users sometimes don't know what that is for. Somebody asked me
