## Description

BetterBlocks keeps your block editor tidy, simple, and organised, allowing you to
focus on what matters — your content. With a handful of impactful tweaks to the 
block editor, this plugin helps you maintain an efficient editing space and smoother
workflow.

Features

 * Extra Margins for Blocks: Adds customizable margins around blocks for a clean,
   uncluttered editing space.
 * Enable/Disable Block Editor by Post Type: Choose where to use the block editor,
   toggling it on or off for specific post types.
 * Dynamic Sidebar Resizing: Adjust the block editor sidebar width to your liking,
   making editing smoother and more flexible.
 * Hide Blocks from Frontend: Temporarily remove active blocks from the frontend,
   letting you work in private without deleting content.
 * Force Preview Mode for ACF Blocks: Automatically load ACF blocks in preview mode
   so you can edit without unexpected surprises.
 * Show ACF fields in sidebar: Allow ACF fields of any selected block to be edited
   in the sidebar.
 * Hide Block Directory: Keep your block search focused by hiding the block directory
   and reducing clutter.
