  Hi,
 We would like to create a Menu or Button within our skin that allows people
 to simply with between 'simple' and 'advanced'.
 Now our users have to navigate to profile-preferences, click on Edit and
 choose the drop down with two options.

 What would be the best way to do this?   
 I completely agree with the need, I’d love this too. 

 What I had imagine was 2 things: 
 - A menu entry in the user profile menu at the top right to switch without moving page
Yes, and the link behind this menu-entry could be called by any button created on a
page...
...
  - A key shortcut to perform the switch without moving
page too

 I’ll create a jira issue (once jira.xwiki.org(http://jira.xwiki.org) is back, it’s down
at the moment).  
Done: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-11162
Thank you, 
What is the workaround if I can not wait; a little velocity script to be called from a
button?

Thanks

 Any other idea?  Yes, the reason for above is to make the user-experience better
for ’simple’ users…
We would like to apply the principle ’Less is More’ by leaving out ’UI elements" that
are not used by majority of users.
So I would love a pane where I could select the UI elements to be accessible by ’Simple’,
’Advanced’ and a special list for ’Admin’
Like: 
the Attachment area at bottom of Page

Export menu

but also simplifying:
More actions -> Print preview (So instead of a drop-down “More Actions” only the option
without drop down triangle: “Print Preview"
...

 Thanks
