Add Select Parent Node Button to the menu bar

[schlagmichdoch]

The embeded ProseMirror Editor on the front page of https://prosemirror.net/ has an additional button called Select Parent Node that I find particularily helpful when using nested objects like blockquotes or collapsible blocks.

In which use cases could the button be useful? Or is it rather informative?

After selecting a node you can drag and drop the node (which does not work otherwise on Firefox) or delete it. It’s the same as pressing the Escape key or using Ctrl/Cmd-Click but all shortcuts are only mentioned in the ProseMirror docs and will not be found by the normal user IMO.

Ok, understand. I think most users would probably not understand such a button. Power users are more likely to use the keyboard, such as ESC, for this purpose, right?

What do you think about either linking this to the help page (#8) and pointing to the keyboard shortcut or maybe a config option to enable this feature?

Apparantly, your link is broken but I like the idea of pointing to the keyboard shortcut or shortcuts per se.

The most intuitive thing would probably to add a help btn to the menu bar that directly lists most important information including shortcuts.

On Todoist the overlay looks like this:

I think config options for the menu bar might be hidden too far away. I guess the shortcut route would be sufficient.

FYI: The link should be fixed.
