Working well in testing. Nice work! I think its an improvement and finds a better balance whilst still locking templates which aren't modified as much as site navigation. @richtabor you happy to start here?

Nice, this feels pretty good to use to me @noisysocks, so feels like a good place to start IMO! A couple of minor details:
The test create a new page, edit template and toggle page template preview appears to be failing expecting the Edit your template to edit this block notice, so some of the e2es might need updating.
While this is testing nicely for me in the site editor's view of editing a page, in the post editor with template preview mode switched on, it's possible to select the header or footer, and they're visible in the list view, but there's no option to Edit, so it isn't really possible to do anything. In this case, if the blocks cannot be edited in the current context, what would the desired behaviour be?

Nice work. When you're editing a page, this seems like a good flow. To clarify a hidden nuance here, which is related to editing of inline template parts as also discussed here: in this branch inline editing of template parts is still possible when you select a template in the site editor. So the main change here is for pages only, where now you can select the TP, but only edit it in isolation. Since we are already having a special case for pages, this seems okay to me, but would love also a gut-check from @richtabor. |

Nice, this is working well for me and significantly shortens the journey to go and edit template parts from a page 🚀 A couple of small quirks we'll likely want to address:
|
That's my understanding as well, and on point with my expectations of this effort.
I think the whole dotted lines fading in work needs revisiting. It's not quite landing right. |
Fixed 👍
Great catch @andrewserong. My read on the fix for this is that we should be reducing the number of differences between the site editor and the post editor. I know @youknowriad has been doing a lot in this area. So with that in mind in 34e9348 I moved the code that adds the Edit button to the Template Part toolbar from |

Nice stuff. I tested this in the site and post editors. Works well with theme template parts and custom template parts. Highlight color appears, for me, correctly on mouseover and on touch. I couldn't break it after the latest updates. 2024-03-21.12.10.19.mp4🚢 |

OK think I've fixed these in b0b35da. Thanks @jameskoster. Feel free to push more CSS tweaks if I missed something. |
What do you mean by root padding?
I don't think we currently have a double click shortcut for template parts? Or at least locally in
Good question. Right now one would have to switch to the post editor if there's no Post Title block. It could be worth exploring allowing the title to be set in one of the sidebars (black W sidebar on left, or page sidebar on right). It's beyond the scope of this PR though. |

Thanks everyone! I've addressed / responded to all feedback. I'll merge once there's an approving code review. |
I'll open a separate issue for this.
Currently if you click the surrounding template or a template part from a page in the site editor you'll see a toast notification, but on a double click you get the modal that allows you to enter: 
The caveat being (as I think you implied) that it allows you to edit the "template" whether you've double clicked over a template or a template part. But in trunk once in the template you are at that point able to edit either one in the same context. In this PR you can see the same thing happen when you double click to edit the template around the page content, but not when you double click to edit the template part. That region previously responded to a double click but doesn't any longer. Just noting that the behavior is inconsistent and it would be great to be able to say definitely to our users "you can double click to enter into editing global content". Understand if that requires a new issue/PR. |

Just gave this a re-test and it's still all working nicely for me in the post and site editors 👍
The code change is also looking good to me, and seems consistent with the feedback that Riad gave in reviews, too, with relevant code moved over to the template part block where possible.
LGTM! ✨
Thank you! That'd be great.
Ah gotcha. I'm not sure. Personally I don't really like that dialog at all 😅 I think it would be unexpected if double clicking a template part behaved differently to double clicking a different block. Maybe the designers in this thread can weigh in on what we should do here. I can address it in a follow up if need be. |

@noisysocks, one of the e2e tests became flaky after this got merged into the trunk - #60102. Update: Here's my attempt to fix it - #60109. |

You can also disable "template previewing" from the "template panel" in the sidebar and you'll be thrown into the regular "post only" mode that does have a "title" input (like the post editor) |
