Hover Highlights is a simple WordPress plugin that adds a subtle highlight effect to the Gutenberg/Block Editor. When you hover over a block, it gets highlighted with a dashed outline and a box-shadow. The highlight disappears when you focus on the block to reduce distraction.
This plugin is ideal for content creators who want to visually distinguish individual blocks within the Block Editor.
The code and this readme are mostly written by ChatGPT.
