Visually create custom block patterns. No coding skills needed.
Categorize and use keywords for easy searching. 

== Description ==

Create custom block patterns. The patterns can be designed just like you design a blog post or a page with the block editor.
You can assign any category or keywords. 

== Key Features ==

- Create custom patterns from one or more blocks in the post editor
- Group your patterns in categories
- Optionally add any keywords or aliases that help users discover it while searching in the inserter
- Create custom pattern categories
- Set a viewport width to optimize the scaled width of the preview in the block inserter
- Add an optional hidden text if the title does not fully describe what the pattern does.
- Deleting patterns, modifying them or uninstalling the plugin does not affect the blocks created with the patterns, since once the pattern is inserted, it is not linked to the source pattern.
- Option to remove patterns when plugin is removed
