Description
EDIT: I am looking into adjusting the exit arrow in Gutenberg. Which shows up in Fullscreen mode. It gives an association of in a way exiting the customizer. It would be better to find a way to readjust how this arrow works. Change the icon and look for a better overall solution.
We can make it easier to switch between various screen modes.
Photoshop has an icon at the bottom of the toolbar:
Standard Screen Mode
Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
Full Screen Mode.
Clicking the shortcut F multiple times cycles through these various screen modes.
We can bring something similar to Gutenberg.
In Gutenberg there are various types of top toolbars. (More icons will over time also be added.)
Top toolbar with block toolbar.
Top toolbar with exit to all pages/posts screen
Top toolbar with exit to all pages/posts + block toolbar
Switching out the icon and feature so one does not exit Gutenberg as if it was the customizer one could instead have an icon with a drop down to where one selects which screen mode to enter into. Perhaps something like this:
The reasoning behind the icon and the drop down is to give a signal to the user that is is very easy to cycle between various screen modes. There could be a visible icon for each mode. The top icon could then show the mode that is active.
One can Collapse menu in the WP menu sidebar. To almost remove the left WP menu.
One can go into the 3 dot drop down and select full screen mode. But that is hidden inside a drop down. Adding a screen cycle mode with an easy to access icon would make it easier for users to just quickly cycle through the modes to find their own perfect layout. It could also be incorporated into Full Site Editing.
