Needs a third Writing option

    This plugin should provide users with a third Writing option, namely:

    – Use the Classic editor by default and include optional links to the Gutenberg editor.

    I don’t want to disable Gutenberg entirely, as I can see it being useful (very occasionally). But the Classic editor will be my preferred choice in the vast majority of cases. The only way I can have access to both at the moment is to be forced into the Gutenberg editor, then select the Classic option. I should be able to select the Classic option by default.

  • As I understand, you need a fast way to switch between editors (example press CTRL+SHIFT+E to switch), right?

    I also hope they can integrate that feature into Classic Editor plugin, or better including in core. That will save us a lot of time.

    Yeah, planning to add couple more things:
    – Remember when Classic editor was used for each post and open it next time.
    – Use Classic editor by default and add links to the Block editor (Gutenberg).

    Hoping to get that done before 5.0 is out ??

    Thanks for the update, Andrew. What you’re suggesting would definitely work for me (although I’d prefer it if this functionality were core, rather than in a plugin!).

    I’ve spent a long time now experimenting with the Block editor, and stand by initial assessment: occasionally useful, but would definitely slow me down a lot as the default editor. Good luck with getting the change done before Gutenberg is unleashed on an unexpecting world!
