Block Revealer

I decided to review your plugin BEFORE testing it because the idea should be in core. I don’t like Gutenberg but plan to use it on some sites as page builder and I think I will love your plugin.

I should give ten stars

Even if the block editor UI is getting better and better, this keyboard shortcup is still super useful. Thanks Maxime 👍

Does what it says it will do

Thanks Maxime, your plugin saves me a lot of time.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal, but these few borders improve the editor interface a lot. Maybe one day in core... ? :-)

Just a little note: I searched a while before finding the keyboard shortcut to use to activate the feature. Maybe the information would be welcome directly in the plugin description.

Simple and effective

For reasons that are difficult to understand, Gutenberg devs have decided to gradually remove any kind of block outline. This plugin brings back this necessary feature. Thanks.

Great plugin!

Reveals the blocks invisible lines better than what the EditorsKit does (way better), BUT, you have to make sure that you use the key. shortcut while you have not selected any block, otherwise the shortcut will also change that selected block's alignment to the right. Maybe having a different shortcut would be another way to go, or even better, a button instead on the top toolbar.

Otherwise, excellent plugin, I am sticking to the 5 stars,
Thanks. 

Deserves 5 stars, but...

<p>This plugin automatically adds CSS3 transitions to your website/blog and the WordPress admin. Links, etc. get animated transitions between their normal and hover states. CSS3 Transitions are supported by the most recent version of every major browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, Opera, Safari); browsers without support will continue to render everything as they had before. This plugin adds the transitions (eye candy) to all <code><a></code> (link), <code><li></code> (list item, usually used in navigation menus), <code><img></code> (image), and <code><input></code> (form field and button) tags that have a hover or focus state defined (for example, if links change color when the mouse hovers over them). Other “buttons”, form elements, and WordPress-specific selectors are also targeted. Transitions are between .2 and .3 seconds in duration, so they shouldn’t cross the line between nice and distracting; however, depending on the colors used in your theme, the transitions may not be noticeable.</p>
<p>Also, please note that image sprites simply don’t work well with blanket css3 transitions. If you see wierd animations where images scroll between their normal and hover states, they’re using sprites. Depending on where the sprites are used, there are various ways to prevent the behavior on those elements, while retaining transitions where desired. One method is to add an inline style attribute to those elements: <code>style="transition: none; -webkit-transition: none;"</code>. Adding the css to your theme will override the plugin’s css as long as you target the elements using sprites by class or id.</p>
<p>Please feel free to offer any feature suggestions you might have and I will consider them for future releases.</p>
<h4>CSS3 Transitions UX Theory</h4>
<p>Because of the way our brains process images, in simple terms, instant/sudden changes are generally not as well perceived as more gradual ones. In the physical space, we never see instant changes, like slides changing with no animation in a PowerPoint, but with digital technology this is a very common practice. When websites make use of hover states, for example, if a link changes color when the mouse hovers over it, they exhibit small, but instant visual changes. Adding the css3 transitions makes these changes more gradual, and therefore easier on the eye. For this same reason, operating systems now tend to make use of a lot of animations. There’s a lot of neuroscience behind these concepts, but I’m not well versed in that. Basically, <em>slight</em> animations generally look better than instant changes. Some people will argue that things aren’t as “snappy” or seem slugish with transitions, but if that’s the case, it’s only a matter of adjusting the animation timing function and duration.</p>
