which is just a MouseArea set on the view which already has all the code to go 
up. Trivial, easy to maintain, doesn't influence any other code of Kickoff.

Nope: it influences the layout. It is not trivial to add with my current 
design of Kickoff in QML. As a matter of fact we would also have to consider 
to put the button on the right when Kickoff is on the right edge. That 
requires strong adjustments on the layout as well as choosing a different 
arrow element.

So no, this is clearly a non-trivial change with lots of potential impact for 
future development. Remember: if we add it we have to maintain it. It might 
hinder future changes, which would be bad.

I wrote it in another mail in this thread: it increases the complexity of the 
code base. Nothing I like.

Cheers
