Adds highlighting on hover with a distraction-free experience for the Gutenberg/Block Editor.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Hover Highlights – Editor highlighting version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Hover Highlights is a simple WordPress plugin that adds a subtle highlight effect to the Gutenberg/Block Editor. When you hover over a block, it gets highlighted with a dashed outline and a box-shadow. The highlight disappears when you focus on the block to reduce distraction.
This plugin is ideal for content creators who want to visually distinguish individual blocks within the Block Editor.
The code and this readme are mostly written by ChatGPT.
