There have been a lot of efforts to tighten up Gutenberg in preparation for the WordPress 5.5 release. This post highlights a few.
Moving blocks
The movers are now more visible and aligned tightly with the block’s icon. And there’s a PR that explores hiding the block’s content when being dragged.
Resize component
The resize component is getting a tooltip that communicates the pixel size when being resized.
Parent block selection
Selecting the parent block has been difficult for a long time. The current iteration to improve this experience includes a parent selector that appears in the block’s toolbar.
Superscript and Subscript
A few rich text additions include superscript and subscript to allow more editing capabilities.
