Trac ticket: core 62368

Summary

Edit site, Ambiguity and inconsistency of the admin bar link to the site editor:
Have you ever accidentally clicked on "edit site" instead of "edit page"?
I've been working extensively with block themes lately, and I find myself making this mistake often, even though I clearly know the difference between the two buttons. After asking around, it seems I'm not the only one.

Secondly, when I'm in the admin area working on a block theme, I always look for the "Edit site" button, but it's not there. Instead, I have to navigate to Appearance > Editor.

Here's my simple proposition:

The link is always called "Editor"
The link is always visible if you have activated a block theme.
It's a small change, but it would greatly improve the user experience!

Changers

  • Renamed 'Edit site' to 'Editor'
  • Provide a shortcut link to the editor in the admin
