WordPress Playground, Blueprints and 6.6 Beta

He managed to make me want to explore the WordPress Playground, and at the same time he explained the changes in the content editor I was puzzled about: under the hood the JS of the site editor is loaded!

And I signed up for his 7 Tools series although I'm not really a developer.

@pmmueller Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you got something out of it. There'a some other big changes in WordPress 6.6 and one of these days I’ll try to cover those as well.

@briancoords Thanx a lot for all your stuff, and I‘m looking forward to the videos.

But I have a question right away 😇:

It seems that if there is a cursor it invokes the link input field, if not it‘s the command palette.

Which is utterly confusing.

Do you happen to know why cmd + k was chosen?

Are there plans to merge the two?

Current state of affairs in WP 6.6: If cmd + k invokes the link control, pressing cmd + k again will call the command palette.
