Writing Tools for the Block Editor makes Gutenberg calmer, cleaner, and genuinely easier to use — and adds the everyday tools writers and editors keep wishing it had.

Gutenberg is powerful, but its interface can feel busy and unforgiving. This is a lightweight skin and toolkit that smooths the rough edges — without replacing the editor, forking it, or turning it into a page builder.

Editing tools you’ll use every day

Find & Replace across the whole post, with a live match count and optional case-sensitivity. Links, markup, and code blocks are never touched.
Undo on delete — remove a block and a one-click “Undo” appears, so accidental deletions are easy to recover.
Clear Formatting — strip messy inline formatting from any selection in one click.
Live word count for the selected block, not just the whole post.

A calmer canvas

A quieter, more focused editor — softer chrome, a restrained accent colour (choose teal, sage, or slate), and a tidier List View.
An always-visible “Add block” button, so adding content never depends on hovering to find a hidden control.
A friendly one-time tip that teaches keyboard navigation between blocks.
An optional toggle to reduce autosave frequency on slower sites.

Lightweight and safe by design

Loads only inside the editor — zero scripts, styles, or slowdown on your live site.
Purely visual and additive: it never changes your block markup or saved content.
Works alongside your theme and other block plugins.

No settings page to wrestle with, and no bloat. Just a better editing experience.
