The main purpose of the plugin is to start a discussion on how we could improve the editor in WordPress. This plugin is thus a very opinionated one. The button selection is done with reusable content in mind. All buttons that would results in harmful markup are removed.
The plugin also removes the kitchen sink button. Instead, there is an icon with three dots. Pressing that expands the row to contain all the available buttons. This works better with a responsive page than hard coded lines of buttons which in some widths break into four separate lines.

With <a href="https://github.com/pixelgrade/pixcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">PixCodes</a> you can have a shortcode insert interface for the WordPress Classic Editor.
PixCodes is intended for Classic Editor and TinyMCE workflows. It does not add a block editor interface.
The awesome part is that you can filter any shortcode parameters or overwrite any shortcode template with your theme.
Note: this plugin does not add any style to the output of shortcodes.
We believe that shortcodes functionality should be offered by a plugin and the style should be provided by themes.
Here is a <a href="http://github.com/pixelgrade/pixcodes/blob/master/README.md" rel="nofollow ugc">detailed documentation</a> about how you can configure some plugin settings and output.
