Draw.io 2.x-style Integration

[mchheung]

Hello,

Are there any plans to have the Draw.io content block be more in-line with how well it was integrated in 2.x?

Easily accessible button in the sidebar for Draw.io
Default collapsed text in the editor
Large, unmissable Edit diagram button. The current button is not contrasted enough so it can be difficult to tell that it's a button and not text in the block.

I quite enjoyed how easy it was for non-technical users to make and integrate diagrams.

Additionally, will there be an option to turn off interactions with the rendered drawing on the live page?

Thank you for the great work.

Additionally, will there be an option to turn off interactions with the rendered drawing on the live page?

This can be achieved by pasting the following into Theme > CSS Override:

block-drawio {
  pointer-events: none !important;
}

The next release will automatically open the draw.io editor when inserting the block and the code will be folded by default, just like 2.x. I also added a new "static" option you can enable per diagram to make it non-interactive.

However, as for adding a direct button shortcut to draw.io, no. What you might consider an important block is completely pointless to another user. Toolbar real estate is limited and with 25+ blocks this time, it's simply not possible to please everyone, hence the block picker dialog.

Amazing work, thank you!

As for the direct button, I understand. In that case, may I suggest having the sidebar be customizable, so admins (or even at the user-level) can determine what is best for them? I understand if not.

Thank you again!
