Shed Editor Assist enhances the Gutenberg block editor experience with visual aids that make layout structure clearer.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Layout Borders — dashed outlines on Columns, Column, Group, and Spacer blocks so you can see structure at a glance</li>
<li>Block Color Coding — each block type gets a distinct border color (paragraph, heading, image, list, buttons)</li>
<li>Grab Markers — a ⠿ handle at the top-left corner of each block for quick drag-and-drop reordering</li>
<li>Backspace / Delete Protection — prevents accidental block deletion or column-merge when the cursor is at the start or end of a block (both keys protected)</li>
</ul>
All features are editor-only. Nothing is added to the frontend.
Each feature can be toggled independently under Settings > Shed Editor Assist. Border style (dashed / solid), width, and base color are also configurable.
Optional paid add-ons are available at https://wpshed.jp.
