Adding a sibling Container block

@yingscarlett

Thank for the response. Doesn’t work like you describe for me. If you start with the first container as the parent, selecting it gives you two tool options: Add to Container and Add Inner Container. To your confusion and not making any sense, both of these tools do the same thing! They just add a child container. No difference. And while selecting the child container I just created, I get the +icon tool as you described, and hitting this button gives you a CHILD container inside the child container. This is probably the most confusing and useless tool of the plugin while the rest works pretty well.

The Grid block can help with a multiple column layout. However it’s beside the point being discussed. I sometimes use the container group as a flex structure which works slightly differently than a grid structure the way they behave and their unique properties.

Secondly, to make the container block tools less confusing and more useful. To keep with less is more yet powerful philosophy of the plugin, I’d suggest the container block needs only one generating button tool. When selecting a single block, clicking on the +icon simply makes a child container inside it. Clicking multiple times on the +icon while selecting a container will just make multiple child sibling containers as many as you want. And if you select one of the child container and click the +icon, you simply make a nested/child contain inside that child container with the exact function. So in the end, all you need is one button that generates child containers in the same ‘hierarchy level’ instead of nesting further down as what the tool does now.

thanks for your attention

Thanks for your consideration, @alvindcaesar

Keep up all the good work.
