Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there are four different buttons, all related to adding a new entry. This is confusing for newcomers, especially as their functionality is in some cases heavily overlapping. Also, that helps to save some space on low resolutions.
CC #8295 (comment) and https://discourse.jabref.org/t/ui-priority-what-should-be-in-the-toolbar/3039/10 for that, which inspired me to create this issue.
Describe the solution you'd like
Merge buttons, don't duplicate functionality there.
Additional context

The colors mark areas that (could) provide similar functions.
