--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
Hey, thank you for voicing your wish!

We somewhat regularly have people giving ideas about which buttons should or
should not be on the toolbar. However, which buttons are useful is quite
different between different user types. You might be interested in this
somewhat recent discussion in which a user suggests completely different
toolbar buttons than you just did:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/dolphin-file-managers-bad-default-toolbar-ui-experience/10135

In any case, from the ones you suggest, the "Sort By" action is currently being
discussed to be added to the Dolphin toolbar by default. The other two should
not be added. The very short reasons are that "Previews" is something that
users typically shouldn't have to ever toggle back and forth, and that "Group
Elements" is not really useful for small folders and light file management and
not necessary either for more advanced workflows (even though it can be really
nice there).

I hope you don't mind that I close this bug report now. The "Sort By" is
already being discussed and the other two actions have already been ruled out
by past discussions, so keeping this bug report open like this might lead to
confusion.
