It's too easy to accidentally delete blocks #1146

Problem

Currently, it's too easy to accidentally delete blocks on the canvas, mainly because the delete (trash) icon on the inline toolbar is often docked right next to the hide keyboard button.

Note: this is especially a problem on iOS because our "scroll-to" positioning is "smarter" than Android. Most often when a block is focused (unless it's a tall block), it gets nicely docked above the Quick Toolbar.

Potential Fixes

A few approaches we could take:

  1. Implement the ••• menu in place of the remove block icon (which we were eventually going to) and place the remove block option in the subsequent sheet.

  2. Force the scroll position to about ~24px higher to limit accidental taps. This would leave some whitespace between the two toolbars.

  3. Add a confirmation dialog that shows when removing a block from the canvas.

Data

To inform the approach we take, it would be useful to see some data on how often the remove block button is used.
