Description
FocusEdit is a plugin designed to improve the user experience in the WordPress block editor. It offers advanced visual adjustments activated through toggles, without altering the core or saving data to the database.
Main features:
- Hide editor title (works with some plugins like Spectra, Ultimate Blocks, Otter, Getwid, PublishPress, Essential Blocks; not with Kadence or Greenshift)
- Clean, distraction-free interface
- Collapsible top bar with optimized spacing
- Floating side panels expanding on hover
- Floating bottom panel expanding on hover
- Visual indicators on collapsed panels
- Manual panel pinning by clicking on empty space (top bar on side panels)
- Smart right panel expansion to stabilize popovers
- Smart expansion to reveal the block panel on mouseover over the Block Toolbar in the Content Canvas
- Minimalist scrollbars

Modular and reversible: Each setting is enabled through a specific CSS class. The plugin does not alter the internal behavior of the editor or manipulate elements directly.
Bilingual: Interface available in Spanish and English, according to the browser language.
