Opening up for review to see if this is a decent approach. 🙇 |

Note that If I can land windowing in List View, it will also matter less if the entire component re-renders, so this isn't necessarily a hard stop on this approach. |

I've abandoned the scrollTo logic in this PR added in 23c762a. I think it's best suited for a further iteration/exploration. There is an issue for it here: #36583 I still believe the changes in this PR represent a UX improvement. At the moment, after selecting a block in the editor, you still have to expand and find the corresponding list item. Before this PR With this PR |

This is looking great to me, @ramonjd, nice work figuring it out! I definitely think it's worth getting in, it's a nice little enhancement that makes the list view feel a little more natural.
I tested that it's working well in the post, site, and widget editors (that last one using TwentyTwenty classic theme).
With the limitations that you mention, the only one that I ran into (that I noticed) was toggling the list view open and closed with the same block selected results in the block no longer as showing that it's selected within the list view. Is that what you meant with the first limitation, or is there another one that I missed? Here's a quick screengrab:
Kapture.2022-02-01.at.17.36.39.mp4
I don't think that's a blocker for this PR as it's already an improvement over what's on trunk. It might be worth getting another approving review from folks who've also worked with the list view, as a confidence check just in case I'm missing additional context with the component, but it's looking good to me!
There might be a tiny bit of overlap with my WIP PR to add in multiple block selection in #38314 — but I'm happy to rebase / refactor that PR as needed once this one lands, if it gets in first 😀

Sorry to everyone that got pinged. Bad merge. Bad me. |

@andrewserong I've rebased on top of #38314. If you get time next week it'd be good if you could run your eye over things to make sure I didn't completely bork the rebase (again). |

Sure thing, thanks for updating this one @ramonjd! I'll give it a test on Monday 😀 |

This is still testing nicely for me, @ramonjd! Thanks for rebasing and re-testing after the multi-select behaviour was introduced.
✅ Works well in post editor, site editor, and widget editor
✅ Multi-block selection behaviour is preserved
LGTM! Just left a tiny totally optional suggestion for a potential name change for the hook, but also fine to keep as-is if you prefer the current naming 🙂

Thank again for testing @andrewserong ! I'll let the tests run and merge this one. |

Description
This PR (maybe) resolves #34690
In this change, we expand the parents of nested items in the block list when the corresponding item is selected in the editor.
Oct-21-2021.21-14-34.mp4
Current limitations
Testing
Fire up the editor and insert several patterns with nested blocks, or create your own.
Example content
Open the List View tree and collapse a few nodes.
In the Editor, select an inner block. The tree should expand and reveal the nested block item.
