Hey guys,
Thank you very much for the comments, I will clarify all doubts now. 


So this would be the minimal interface, in the minimal interface you would only
have the most common buttons, I was inspired by Google Docs and I wanted to
have something similar in LibreOffice, whoever came from Google Docs could
really like LibreOffice Writer with this user interface option . It is very
similar to existing user interfaces like Single Bar, Compact Bar, Compact
Grouped Bar, Contextual Bar. Well the difference would be these 3:

The minimal bar or minimal toolbar is a bar with the following characteristic:
it is a menu bar grouped in a compact, unique and contextual way. It seems to
be something strange, but my idea is to take these previous ideas, or rather
join the concepts of Single Bar, Compact Grouped Bar, Contextual Bar, Single
Contextual Bar in a new and unique concept. This would be similar to the bar
you see in Google Docs when you are editing a document.
The second feature that is very interesting is that it has a slide to the left
and to the right, this is necessary to display all the menu icons always on the
side. My idea here would be that the user would not need access to the above
menu, he would only access the icons to perform his work normally. I think this
would be a great alternative, given that some icons users are familiar with
such as the text formatting icon etc. In addition, it is noticed that the user
could focus only on the icons he needs to perform his work normally or better
to format his text in the best possible way. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
somehow this would be my preferred user interface because it's similar to
Google Docs which is something I usually use when I need to share a specific
document or when most people call me to edit something on the web.
I tried to focus on the KISS idea - “Keep It Simple, Stupid” i.e. “Keep
something easy, simple” in terms of design.
Another innovation, different from the previous bars is that here you could
remove the icons, customize the way you think it's interesting, of course this
would be an option to customize the minimum bar, by default this minimal bar
would be as shown in the photo. However, if the user wants to change, he would
have this option.
