Editor UI Tools

Description

Editor UI Tools enhances your WordPress editing experience by providing productivity controls for the Block Editor (Gutenberg):

  • Sidebar Pinning: Add a Pin button before the Close button on both Block Inserter and Document Overview sidebars so they stay pinned open.
  • Sidebar Position Toggle: Effortlessly switch the Block Inserter & Document Overview sidebar layout position between Left and Right.
  • Expand & Collapse All: Easily expand or collapse all nested blocks in Document Overview with a single click (.block-editor-list-view__expander).
  • Persistent Settings: All customizations automatically persist using localStorage.
