Arrange the code block in BLOCKS one after the other

[Jaco_M (Jaco Mathew)]

hello everyone,

Currently, there is option to arrange blocks vertically or arrange blocks horizontally. But using either does not show blocks one after the other. Its still clustered and as the project becomes big, it becomes cumbersome and difficult to find a specific component or a procedure that I have used. Using CTRL-F highlights the text but it does not focus to the “found” text.

A feature to arrange blocks one by one vertically, ie. only one block under another block and not show any block to the left / right.

This way we can view blocks one after the other just by scrolling up / down.

A new feature / option, may be ?

Thanks.

You can do what you want. You have to zoom out first so that your blocks look real tiny. Then when you select horizontal of vertical they will be arranged as you want.

I think the Clean up Blocks in the right click menu of block editor does the same thing

Do try it once but make sure you take backup before trying it

Clean up Blocks

That’s true. But it arranges the blocks only vertically, not horizontally.

Phew, it does. The name sounds dangerous so never tried it. But its a life saver. So much easier to scroll just up and down rather than up, down, left, right just to find the block you are looking for. The arrange blocks vertically should be doing this but it show blocks on the sides too.

Thanks for the help.
