I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to understand the compact mode and icon mode icons without looking at the tooltip.

  No, I missed them, but now I've seen them.

  Yes, once you have the muscle memory, 3 buttons is more efficient. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine that I'm getting hung up on, but I hate having to read a tooltip when I'm not 100% sure what an icon means before I click the button. BTW, Windows 10 doesn't show icon-only view mode buttons <https://www.zerodollartips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/windows-10-file-explorer.jpg>, although File Explorer is by no means a good standard for UI design. MacOS has 4 icon-only view mode buttons <https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/macos/Mojave/macos-mojave-finder-gallery-view.jpg> (ew) and GNOME has 1 <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Files?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=general.png> that seems to flip between the thumbnail and list modes
