My notes

The extended form combines an icon with a short action label, making a floating command easier to interpret. It uses more horizontal space than an icon-only FAB.

When to use it

Keep the label short and preserve a clear floating relationship to the content.

Know the difference

A regular primary button belongs in the layout; an extended FAB visually floats above it.

Use a native button for an action and an anchor for navigation. Preserve keyboard activation and a visible focus indicator.

iOS · iPadOS · Android

Provide a comfortable touch target, use familiar system symbols when appropriate, and show a clear pressed or selected state.

macOS · Windows · Linux

Keep pointer, keyboard, and focus behavior consistent. Common commands can additionally expose a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
