Removed “Uploaded to this post” filter and so many bugs

  • I’ve been using Gutenberg steadily for four months, trying to convince myself it’s not so bad, but I think I’m going back to classic, and I don’t know what I’ll do at the end of next year.

    When you want to insert an image into a post in Classic, you can still (using the plugin) sort them by “Uploaded to this post”. For some reason, this got removed (by accident?) when the developers coded Gutenberg. Filtering for images that belong with that post is much more intuitive than going by dates, which is the only option Gutenberg gives you. As far as I can tell, this disappeared from the Gutenberg code several years ago, and at least one developer has offered a fix, but it’s never been put into the core. I can’t find any indication it will be fixed, ever. One engineer commented that the feature didn’t seem useful.

    Gutenberg is the worst thing that could happen to an efficient workflow.

    • Most features are hidden away behind a dropdown. That’s 1-2 extra clicks every time.
    • So many keyboard shortcuts either disappeared or changed from one click to 3-4.
    • Having to click a button every time I want to see my word count. Really? I glance at it constantly in Classic. Now my workflow includes dropping everything and clicking a button over and over.
    • It’s so hard to select the whole post, or even several blocks.
    • Having to scoll past the entire lengthy article every time I want to check something in another module. In classic, you could make the editor box a fixed length of your choice.
    • No easy way to add nofollow tag. This really should be in the core, along with “open in another tab”.
    • No keyboard shortcut for editing in HTML/visually at the block level

  • Just trying to help:

    – If by features you are referring to the available blocks, use the quick insert shortcut (/).
    – Well, nothing can be done about that for the moment.
    – Point taken, but not much of a problem for me, maybe a mere nuisance. However, the new counter feature is richer, showing document structure and possible errors.
    – ?Ctrl + A not working?
    – Agreed.
    – SEO plugins take care of that.
    – Agreed, but again, a nuisance for me, as I have very little use for it. Gutenberg + Editors Kit + CoBlocks offer anything I need.

    I hope it helps.
