A suggestion for improvement.
An exploration into improving synced pattern block toolbars (and perhaps template parts).
We should move the name to the right of the
.block-editor-block-toolbar__block-controls
area, to be consistent with most block toolbars, where there's an icon, drag indicators, and movers, followed by a block's specific controls. By rendering the name as in trunk today, the block toolbar is unfamiliar when selecting a synced pattern.I propose the pattern's name is the control to engage the synced pattern controls, in their own popover. It becomes much clearer what pattern I am going to edit, or reset, if I'm clearly selecting it.
Those controls within the popover would be:
I proposed them in this order as it represents the hierarchy of operations as follows:
Note that all of these controls exist today; I'm just proposing we consolidate them into one synced patterns controls area.
