Add an `editableRoot` block support for native cross-block selection by ellatrix · Pull Request #79105 · WordPress/gutenberg

ellatrix · 2026-06-11T07:41:45Z

What?

Adds an opt-in supports.editableRoot block support. When the selected block opts in, the writing flow wrapper (the editor canvas body) becomes the contentEditable editing host, so the browser's native selection can extend across blocks. Enabled for the paragraph block to start.

Why?

Cross-block selection currently relies on synthetic pointer handling that does not work with native selection on touch devices (notably iOS), where pointer events cannot be reliably intercepted. Making the wrapper a single editing host lets the native selection span blocks, while the editor should otherwise behave exactly as today.

How?

New editableRoot support key (schema + docs), enabled on core/paragraph.
useEditableRoot flips the writing flow wrapper to contentEditable and holds focus while the selected block opts in; it never flips mid-keystroke, only on block-selection change.
Selection-ownership event model: handlers no longer rely on the event target. They use ownsSelection( element ) / subscribeOwnedListener (rich text private APIs) so they work whether focus is on the block's editable element or on the wrapper host.
Selection sync ownership: rich text owns within-block sync (it always listens to selectionchange now, via a shared delegated listener); the writing flow observer owns cross-block multi-selection.
Host-mode adaptations: arrow navigation, clipboard, autocomplete ARIA, and the typewriter are made to work when the wrapper holds focus.

Backward Compatibility

Blocks opt in (supports.editableRoot, paragraph only). The main risk is for extensions that add event handlers via the editor.BlockEdit (or editor.BlockListBlock) filter: when a block opts in, the writing-flow wrapper is the editing host and holds focus, so keyboard, input, and clipboard events target the wrapper (an ancestor of every block) rather than the block's own editable element. React handlers (onKeyDown, onInput, …) attached within a block therefore never fire, since the event originates above their subtree. Core's own handlers use a selection-ownership model (ownsSelection / subscribeOwnedListener) to handle this; if needed, we could add a back-compat layer that forwards on* React event handlers to the wrapper host.

Alternatives Considered

Drop contentEditable everywhere on uncollapsed selection. Instead of promoting the wrapper to a single editing host, keep each block editable as today and simply turn contentEditable off on every block the moment the selection becomes uncollapsed (text remains selectable without contentEditable). Adding tabindex to the blocks keeps focus on the originating block. The appeal: the focusable element never moves to the wrapper, so the selection-ownership rerouting and its back-compat risk for editor.BlockEdit handlers largely disappear, and the host swap is transient (only during an active cross-block selection).

This was prototyped and tested. In Chromium it works: flipping contentEditable off mid-drag does not abort the selection, both pointer and keyboard selection extend across blocks, and with tabindex the focus and subsequent keystrokes stay on the block rather than falling to <body>. However, on iOS Safari/WebKit it fails: mutating contentEditable/focus during the active selection gesture destroys the selection — it disappears the instant it forms. Since native cross-block selection on iOS touch is the entire motivation for this work, this approach is disqualifying there. The wrapper-as-single-editing-host model in this PR avoids mutating editability mid-gesture, which is why it holds up on iOS.

Testing Instructions

Add a few paragraph blocks.
Select text starting in one paragraph and dragging into another; the selection should span blocks natively.
Verify single-block editing, splitting/merging, copy/paste, and formatting behave as before.

Testing Instructions for Keyboard

With the caret in a paragraph, use Shift+ArrowUp/Shift+ArrowDown to extend the selection across blocks.
Confirm arrow navigation, Enter/Backspace, and Cmd/Ctrl+A behave as before.

It looks like e2e tests in test/e2e/specs/editor/various/list-view-spotlight-mode.spec.js are failing because they still assert toBeFocused() on paragraph rich-text elements, even if this PR intentionally moves DOM focus to the editable-root host (while the paragraph owns the selection). Should we migrate these tests to ownsSelection() too?

Matches the implementation extracted to trunk: the snapshot comparison lives in handleSelectionChange, which the consuming events subscribe directly on capture, and the focused-element case synchronizes too. The selection-owner guard extends it to editing hosts, where there are no focus events to catch up on entry and handlers that act on the selected block only attach once the store selects it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Build the dispatch payload in place instead of extracting the offsets into variables, so the payload and its clamp rationale stay identical to trunk and the diff only shows the added store comparison. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The pin preserved pre-input offsets for a getValue that derived the selection from the DOM at read time. With the selection synchronized on capture of consuming events, including beforeinput, the record already holds the pre-input offsets when input handling reads it.

The rebase replayed the branch's copy of the subscription next to the merged one without a conflict. Keep the merged block and fold the editing host rationale into its comment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Three specs inlined near-identical resolvers for the element owning the focus (the active element, or the editable containing the selection when a focused editing host owns it). Move the strictest variant next to the ownsSelection util as getFocusOwnerLabel and use it in all three. The composition end simulation keeps its inline copy: it must run in a single evaluate to preserve same-tick scheduling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The typewriter ref lands on the same node as writing flow (the canvas body), which is the element that becomes the editing host. Key events either target the node itself or bubble through it from a nested editable, so node-bound listeners receive them in host mode too. The document-level ownership routing was unnecessary.

Replace the enable and teardown branches with an idempotent setAttribute helper that only touches the DOM when the attribute is not in the requested state, two early returns for the leave-alone cases, and a single flat body shared by both directions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The effect only depends on whether the wrapper should be an editing host. Setup applies the attributes and moves focus in; the cleanup is the teardown, skipping the contentEditable flip when a multi-selection has taken over the wrapper. The selected block is read from the store at run time instead of being a dependency, so switching between two editable root blocks no longer re-runs the effect at all. The aria attributes are now also removed when a multi-selection takes over, where they previously lingered. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The registry is a constant dependency; selecting through it inside the effect makes the run-time reads explicit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The mouseup that clears it is not guaranteed, e.g. when the pointer is released outside the document; a stale flag must not suppress a later, unrelated focus. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Replaces the shift gesture flag in the block focus handler. The handler now always selects the block, without initial caret placement for editable targets: the caret is already inside them, and placement would collapse a native selection in the making, e.g. a shift+click extending across blocks while the wrapper is the editing host. The selection observer records the store anchor at shift+mousedown and builds the multi-selection from it, so the dispatch overwriting the store anchor is harmless.

Keep the hook's flow and skip only the placement itself when the target already contains a caret delivered through a focused editing host. A caret the rich text synchronized to the store is deliberate; a leftover one yields to an explicitly requested edge position. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two focus handler rules for events that only exist while an editing host makes container blocks focusable. Focus landing on an ancestor of the selected block must not steal the selection from its descendant: when a shift+click extends the selection within a container, the browser focuses the common editable ancestor of the range (e.g. a group block), and selecting it re-renders mid gesture and destroys the native selection being made. A block that is part of the current multi-selection must not collapse it: the focus event of a shift+click is not ordered consistently against its mouseup across browsers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Consolidate the hosting conditions into canHostEditableRoot, shared by the hook and the selection observer (whose copy had drifted and lacked the editing mode check), and require every sibling in the list to have the default editing mode. A host makes all its content editable by inheritance: with an override-enabled pattern paragraph selected, the pattern's read-only content became editable, and clicking it set off a focus chain that moved the selection to the paragraph, so the button's link edit was applied to the wrong block. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The role, aria-multiline and accessible name now travel with the wrapper's editability everywhere: setContentEditableWrapper is shared by all writers (selection observer, drag, click, arrow and input handling, multi selection, the clipboard cut path and the editable root effect), sets the three attributes when the wrapper becomes an editing host and removes them when it stops being one. The editable root teardown no longer strips the attributes while a multi-selection still owns the wrapper, and the multi-selection label cleanup restores the generic host name instead of removing it while the wrapper keeps hosting. Covered by an e2e test across the collapsed, cross-block and deselected states. Also replace the ancestor focus rule with a shift+click gesture flag maintained by the selection observer: the ancestor rule also swallowed legitimate parent selection by click, breaking cover block unit tests and container-block flows. The flag only suppresses block selection between a shift mousedown and its mouseup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Covers focus moving from an inner paragraph to an editable owned by an ancestor block: the parent must become the selected block and own the caret. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The selection observer stashed the store selection anchor at a shift+click mousedown to survive the clicked block's focus handler overwriting it before the multi-selection was built on mouseup. The focus handler now bails for the whole gesture (isShiftClickInProgress), so it never overwrites the anchor and the stash is unnecessary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I'm going to merge. This will definitely be issues that pop up, but I want to try it for 7.1. Worst case we revert. Supporting mobile multi select has been long overdue. Will also re-evaluate all new code more in depth again and add on* React handlers compatibility.

Inline the focus owner label poll

53fa266

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Read editable root selectors through the registry

81fb1a1

The registry is a constant dependency; selecting through it inside the effect makes the run-time reads explicit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Consume the shift gesture flag when the focus handler bails

ffd943f

The mouseup that clears it is not guaranteed, e.g. when the pointer is released outside the document; a stale flag must not suppress a later, unrelated focus. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Assert parent selection when clicking a Details summary

Covers focus moving from an inner paragraph to an editable owned by an ancestor block: the parent must become the selected block and own the caret. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
