Thank you for the suggestion. It seems you’re not alone in encountering this trouble. Unfortunately, according to the linked ticket, implementing your suggestion does not appear to be in the cards.
It is feasible to add some custom admin styling to move the delete menu link off to the right, for example:
span.delete-action {
flex-grow: 2;
text-align: right;
}
Adding admin styling is a bit of a fuss if you’re not a PHP coder. It involves calling wp_enqueue_styles()
from a callback function added to the “admin_enqueue_scripts” action hook. Alternately, apply custom styles from your browser by using an extension such as Stylus for Chrome.
