Top bar tools arrangement
The tools in the top bar are arranged in a special way. Left you have the tools area. At the right you will find further options in case there are any. This is a general UI design paradigm. Left the menus and modes, right settings and options. And in the center an area for transform, snapping or proportional editing.
