Describe the feature you'd like

I would love to be able to customize the bottom row of buttons in the mobile app’s reader view.

For instance, I don’t use the lists or tags that heavily so I would want to replace them with a share and an archive button.

The info view (“i” button) already has buttons for most of the actions (except a share option, though I’m going to open a separate FR for that: #2262).

I think a long press on the bottom bar to make the buttons movable could work, with a palette appearing above with a list of available actions that you can swap out. We could also add a spacer in case people want to segment their buttons into separate sides (à la Firefox).

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

This lets users tailor their quick actions in the reader to best suit their needs.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No

I am willing to take on this feature, it's a nice complement too to #2263 so I may implement them together

@esimkowitz This makes sense to me, as long as we can implement it in a user friendly way that doesn't add too much complexity. I've assigned it to you! Thanks!
