Description

In Write Mode, blocks are generally divided into three groups:

• Section blocks: these are blocks near the top level that contain other blocks, they are set to contentOnly block editing mode. They can be moved up and down.
• Content blocks: these are inner blocks of the sections that are set to contentOnly mode. It shouldn't be possible to move them.
• Other blocks: blocks that aren't section or content blocks are disabled and unselectable.

For most content blocks that are deeply nested in sections, the block movers don't appear. This is because their parent block is usually set to disabled:

However, if a content block is an immediate child of a section, then the movers do appear due to the parent being set to contentOnly:

The code that governs this is the canMove block selector, the return statement at the end allows movement of a block when the parent is not disabled:
