Selecting blocks without content
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The user may want to select a range of blocks, even if they do not contain content (e.g. image blocks).
For instance, the user may wish to delete all of those blocks at the same time. However, this is only possible if the start and end of the selection are blocks with content. In some edge cases, e.g. when using "Ctrl-A" on a document where the first block does not contain content (e.g. an image block), no selection is made, so e.g. "Ctrl-A" + "Ctrl-C", "Ctrl-A" + "Backspace" etc. do not work.
I tried to handle this manually but editor.setSelection requires that both start and end blocks are content blocks.
Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, it would be nice if editor.setSelection supports all block types. But I'm not sure how well this would work with TipTap so some custom logic to track the selected nodes may be necessary.
I'm happy to look into this more if someone could point me in the right direction :)
Same problem here. It would be nice if BlockNote replicates the select behavior from Notion.
We are working on this as part of our "location API", which is being worked on here: https://github.com/TypeCellOS/BlockNote/pull/2044
