@Kovid: is it worth submitting a PR? This could easily be a "Nope" for you. I could do the PR so before you decide you can see what is being touched.

Not a fan of more buttons in the status bar its crowded enough already. Preferences button is available in the toolbar always anyway. It's button number 6 in the default layout IIRC which means the window would have to be *really* narrow for it to be hidden. Of course the user can hide it manually but that is relatively rare and I dont think it warrants crowding the status bar for everyone to cater to that. The way to deal with that is to make it programatically impossible to hide the preferences button, just prevent it from being hidden in the preferences panel. That leaves only users that hand edit config files or source code trying to hide it.
As for all actions, I dont think its that useful. Most people are not going to read a hundred+ item long list and find what they are looking for.
