*QUESTION* —>
Hi, in transferring text from my old block and poasting it into the new gutenberg editor,
i was wondering why there isn’t a keyboard shortcut for ‘convert to black’…
when i’m dealing with forme ‘classic blocks’ from my blog, it wil create a new block for ee line?
but i want to keep it as ‘1 block for multiple lines’ beacuse i wanted to keep those spaces from being ‘block dividers.
otherwise i have to manully delete the spaces, covert, and then crate the spaces again
thanks!

It’s a good question.
For my own Gutenberg migration to blocks, I just keep away from converting old posts.
(only when i have to edit them I make a decision if I need to convert them to block and most of the time, I just keep them in the Classic Block and edit them there)
The Classic Block, different form the Classic Editor plugin is a part of Gutenberg and will always be there as an option.
I am however not quite sure, I understood the problem in need of a solution.
Could you try again, if my comment don’t address what you are looking for?
hey brigit,
thanks ,
hers a youtube clip of my problem –
in this case, ‘converting’ to blocks added a new block for every line space.
i wanted to see if there was a way to convert to blocks while keeping it a single pragraph block without manually getting rid of all the spaces in the original entry.
also, after converting to blocks and re-inserting spaces for single block,
i was also wondering if there was a way to ‘split’ a paragraph block in two without cutting bottom text,
hiitting ‘plus sign’ at the bottom of the top text, and then pasting the bottom text into new block
so if a paragraph block was put together lke this:
***block top******
TEXT
TEXT
TEXT
SPACE
TEXT
TEXT
TEXT
***block bottm****
and i wanted to split this block into without having to cut bottom text and re-insert
also, in th vid i was using a paragraph block with 3 ‘-‘ symbols which i often use as a ‘blog divider’…
sometimes i use a reusable block to quickly add the default 3 ‘-‘ symbols and then later decide i want to make it just a 1 ‘-‘ symbol in the block, when i delete the two bottom ‘-‘ symbols, it automatically converts the block into a bulleted list block so i wouuld have to either remove the block when manually changing it doesn’t work.
(sorry, that last ‘slug block’ issue isn’t really a big problem for me despite convoluted explanation)
thanks for all your help!
