As a moderator I click on the “…” (tooltip “show more”) button below posts (left to Reply) all the time:  
Delete a post, edit a post, flag a post - each one takes two clicks.

Is there a way to have this open automatically without the additional click?

Look into `post menu hidden items` in the Admin \> Settings, but realize that this is a change for everyone, not a single person.

@Sujan delete and edit menus will display only for original author, moderators and admins. So you can move those to visible part of post menu.

Hm ok, I actually am no Admin and I don’t expect this change to be wanted by everyone 😕

Hi @vinothkannans Vinoth, can you kindly help me to know how to implement that as a moderator/admin?

If you’re an admin then you can edit “`post menu`” and “`post menu hidden items`” site settings to make the change as explained in [the above post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-have-open-automatically/62580/2). But you can’t limit this change only to admins and mods. It will affect post authors and who have the ability to edit others’ posts.
