Visually I love this, I think it's worth trying.

Accessibility wise, it seems like there are sometimes two tab stops between items in the toolbar for me. This is probably an issue separate to the ellipsis menu, but figured I'd mention it.

I pushed a fix to the placement of a few things.

One thing — can we do it so clicking the ellipsis menu also selects the block? Right now if you only hover over the block, click the ellipsis menu, and move the cursor away from the block, the ellipsis menu collapses, making it fiddly to use.

Great idea 👍

jasmussen · 2017-10-05T10:34:13Z

Given the select fix, 👍 👍 from me, worth testing this.

I've noticed this as well. Thought it might have been something with #2323 shifting focus into popover (tooltips are implemented as popovers), but this is meant to have been fixed with #2771 (including for Tooltip, not just AutoComplete).

editor/block-settings-menu/index.js

+					className={ toggleClassname }
+					onClick={ this.toggleMenu }
+					icon="ellipsis"
+					aria-label={ __( 'Open Settings Menu' ) }


We should assign this prop as label, which has the same effect of applying aria-label, but also enables the tooltip to be shown when hovering the icon.

Actually, I did it intentionally to avoid the tooltip, I thought it was not necessary here, but I can change.

Hmm, I guess it's to a broader question of when and where to apply tooltips. My philosophy has been if there is no adjacent text explaining what the icon is for, that a tooltip is a good idea.

While we're here, can we refactor this to use the removeBlock action creator?

Per above, maybe also creating a new action creator for this.

As much as I dislike the class component, I feel it has the distinct advantage in avoiding reconciliation which will occur here on assigning the new function reference for every render. Maybe the supposed performance benefits of function components counter-act my own concerns though.

Yes, I tend to avoid the class components as much as I can, I personally don't mind these "rerenderings" but I don't have any proof saying the functional components even with those functions are faster.

Should we try to set a guideline, or is it fine to have separate styles here?

Rumors say that functional component was slower in React 15, but it should be comparable in React 16, on the initial render.

There is only one prop which can trigger re-render of this component isSidebarOpened which will cause the first icon to re-render because of this dynamically created function. There is also another option here, we could create this function as 3rd param in the connect function.

I commented this already in other PR. I don't like the fact that we have a choice of the component syntax in the first place. It seems like a class component is a better choice here, but it's hard to measure performance implications. We could use mergeProps from connect more often, but this brings another set of issues to the table :)

Rumors say that functional component was slower in React 15, but it should be comparable in React 16, on the initial render.

Actually, I saw a benchmark showing that the functional components are 15% faster than the class components but unless you benchmark your self, this is irrelevant.

I'm very much in favor of avoiding premature optimization vs simpler code. And I have to admit I don't like classes that much.

With the vertical ellipsis we can move the left/right items a bit closer to the block, tighten things up. Looks better.

I still need to test it, but it looks very good. I had only nitpicks, which aren't blockers/

+export function toggleSidebar() {


I noticed that we have unit tests for a few existing action creators, should we cover those 2, too?

Yeah! I know and I've written some of these, but honestly, I'm not sure these add any value for action creators just returning an action with the arguments as properties of the object.

Yes, sometimes it's hard to justify the need for writing tests, but at the same time it's very easy to write them. It's your call, as I mentioned already. It's not a blocker.

Do we add spaces inside all parentheses also in CSS? I'm not sure, just checking. If yes, what has happened to you style linter? :)

We don't have a style linter?

Haha, okey :)

It looks like this can be moved to line 17. We have rules for .editor-block-settings-menu__content there.

Don't you think it makes more sense to keep it in .editor-block-settings-menu__control because it's applied to this class when it's first on the list? I can see arguments for both which makes the choice difficult.

It takes some time to process those class names either way. CSS is complicated. We could add another class name, but having a section .editor-block-settings-menu__inspector just to change the margin is most likely be too much here.

gziolo · 2017-10-09T12:17:25Z

I found only one small thing that might require a fix:

I think it should be displayed Close Setting Menu when the menu is in the opened state.

Good catch @gziolo should be better now

Everything looking great with the last commit. Feel free to merge once Travis will turn green 👍
