More detailed list inside the Block Navigation

[paaljoachim]

Looking at the Block Navigation of the page I was working on right now looks like this:

What about just using the icon and then showing some of the text in the beginning of the paragraph?
Or having in one way or another some more details inside the list.

I second this. Spent a bit of time with the block navigator today, and quickly ran into the issue of not knowing which paragraph is the one I need to be working on. Starting with the text of the paragraph would be awesome.

Yes please! This would make a big difference in the overall usefulness of this feature. I'd ❤️ to see a PR for this, but I'm adding the accessibility bat-signal first to be sure that wouldn't cause any potential accessibility snafus. 🦇

Discussed during today's accessibility bug scrub, definitely agree the list of blocks would need some more context. We wouldn't recommend to remove the textual indication of the block type though.

There are plans to review this feature and maybe consolidate Block Navigation and Document Outline. The UI could just provide more horizontal space to display the block type and some text from the block.

Related PR from @youknowriad: #14956. It looks like the idea is to have one icon and both features located in tabs.

Hey, This is definitely a must have in my opinion. I hope this is an achievable piece.

An improved list view is coming into place, so that I am closing this issue.
