@laurent , could I ask you to add a "Hide bar" option in a new text editor on Android?  
As a Markdown is my primary formatting style, I use it not only in Joplin. So, I have all necessary formating buttons in my keyboard.  
Adding additional formatting bar provided by app itself is redundant in my case and looks a little ugly.

Of course, I use now the "Use the plain text editor" option. But as I understood from the description to this option, it is not recommended way.

See [Mobile: Add setting to enable/disable the markdown toolbar by personalizedrefrigerator · Pull Request #7929 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/pull/7929)

It might also make sense to allow users to configure the size of the buttons in the toolbar.
