Position cursor before block element thats on 1st line of editor

[bensquire]

Is there a way to configure plate to allow the movement of the cursor infront of a block element (codeblock. table etc) thats on the very 1st line of the editor?

Local testing just results in extra content being added into that block elemtent.

Shift+mod+enter will add a new block before any of these. You could look at that logic and the plug-in that always has a trailing block in a document, to always have a leading block when one of these types of elements appear first.

Thanks @dylans is what you're proposing significantly different from the rule thats in the docs

	createNormalizeTypesPlugin({
		rules: [{ path: [0], strictType: ELEMENT_H1 }],
	}),

with the exception that this plugin would add a H1 at the top of the editor regardless of whether what was below it was a "block" element or not?

Similar approach/objective.

Smashing, I'll run with this and see what happens. Thanks for the help!

@dylans I'm thinking about putting a PR in for this, can you think of a suitable component name?

@dylans If you don't think this should be a plugin, let me know and I'll just drop some code in here and mark it as answered.

Something like Leading-Block maybe or Cursor-Preceding-Block?
