[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] Hide the floating help button on small screens

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/791109

@ECohen_WMDE Do we actually mean "small screens" here, or should we be toggling depending on the desktop vs. mobile view? The way I understood Lena's explanation, the help text is mostly applicable to the desktop interface so we might want to use that as the conditional.

Yes, that's part of the reasoning- but it's also quite in the way on small screens so I would keep hiding it there in the requirements (regardless of the interface).

And if they are using minerva on a big screen, while possibly less helpful, it's not really in the way and they can still use the shortcuts if they are on desktop, right?

Ok, great!

Possibly—or a user might be on a tablet, which doesn't allow shortcuts.
