Not sure if I am labeling this correctly. But, I noticed in the beta 1.1 version that the zoom toolbar has been removed from the horizontal tool bar (where copy, paste, etc. is located). I use these a ton, and there are other tool icons on there that I never use. It would be great if we could customize those tool icons, or at least click and add or remove group of icons. Hope that makes sense.
If the zoom controls have been removed entirely, rather than just commented out, you might be able to reinstate them by pasting in the entries from a 1.0.x file:
Xav. Thanks for that information. What is interesting is that coding is already in there, but hidden (or marked as comment) and so they don't show and if I simply remove that coding < ! - - - - > it doesn't work. So I think for now, I'm going to give up. Thanks.
That's rather disappointing to hear. Do the corresponding menu entries (View > Zoom > ...) and keyboard shortcuts work? If so then I suspect it shouldn't be too hard for a developer to get the toolbar entries working again. If not, then that would definitely class as a serious regression, in my opinion.
Either way, raising a bug report is probably worthwhile, just to make sure it's on the developers' radar.
I caved in and installed a new virtual machine with 1.1 on (Ubuntu Mate 18.04, AppImage version of Inkscape 1.1). I can confirm your findings, of the commented out options in the config file. It's worse than you reported though - uncommenting them doesn't only fail to show the buttons, but Inkscape also fails to display any of the subsequent buttons from the toolbar either - i.e. there's something so problematic about these entries that they stop Inkscape from parsing the rest of the file.
In my opinion they should either be fixed, or the commented out block should be removed entirely, to avoid giving a false impression.
Yes. The keyboard shortcuts work and that's what I'm going to start using. I had the same thing happen as well when I "uncommented" them, but since it has been decades since I coded, I couldn't figure out why and assumed it was something I was missing.

I haven't used 1.1 yet, but for 1.0.x you can modify the toolbar by editing an XML file. Instructions are here: https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/how-to-customize-toolbars-in-inkscape/#c13242

It's also possible that this approach won't work at all on 1.1, so please make sure to back up the file before you try it.
