## Description

FocusEdit is a plugin designed to improve the user experience in the WordPress block
editor. It offers advanced visual adjustments activated through toggles, without
altering the core or saving data to the database.

**Main features:**

 * Hide editor title (works with some plugins like Spectra, Ultimate Blocks, Otter,
   Getwid, PublishPress, Essential Blocks; not with Kadence or Greenshift)
 * Clean, distraction-free interface
 * Collapsible top bar with optimized spacing
 * Floating side panels expanding on hover
 * Floating bottom panel expanding on hover
 * Visual indicators on collapsed panels
 * Manual panel pinning by clicking on empty space (top bar on side panels)
 * Smart right panel expansion to stabilize popovers
 * Smart expansion to reveal the block panel on mouseover over the Block Toolbar
   in the Content Canvas
 * Minimalist scrollbars
 * Automatic setting persistence per browser

**Modular and reversible:** Each setting is enabled through a specific CSS class.
The plugin does not alter the internal behavior of the editor or manipulate elements
directly.

**Bilingual:** Interface available in Spanish and English, according to the browser
language.

Yes, especially with FSE themes. Some behaviors may vary depending on the active
theme.
