Productivity and Reliability Features

Cut, copy, and paste

Clipboard operations in the Vue Block Editor preserve the structure and formatting of each block. This ensures consistency and prevents content corruption, especially in documents composed of many block types.

Touch support and responsive design allow the editor to work seamlessly on mobile phones and tablets. With gesture-based interactions and adaptive layout, users enjoy a consistent experience across all form factors.

Theming and Extensibility

Built-in themes

The editor includes built-in themes for Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap 5/4, Material, Fluent, Fabric, and high contrast. Developers can apply themes instantly or customize tokens to align with their brand, significantly reducing design work.

Developer APIs

Right to Left (RTL)
