Experiences with my Inateck BK2003 keyboard cover

My Logitech Ultrathin keyboard died a couple of weeks ago. I replaced it with an Inateck BK2003 keyboard cover – UK version. Now I’m using it to edit this post using the WordPress block editor. I’ve copied the original post about my experiences with the Logitech keyboard and am attempting to repeat the tests.

It’s been an interesting experience learning to use my new Logitech Ultrathin keyboard cover i5 to manage WordPress websites.

oik-blocks test

I’m testing the latest version of oik-blocks on my iPhone. The Blocklist block below is displaying a list of all the blocks with the namespace prefix oik-block. Some of these blocks were written specifically to help me to populate blocks.wp-a2z.org

Address – oik-block/address
Displays your address
Block icon – oik-block/blockicon
Displays a Block icon
Block info – oik-block/blockinfo
Displays a Block’s information
Block list – oik-block/blocklist
Displays a list of Blocks for a chosen prefix
Contact form – oik-block/contact-form
Displays a Contact form
Countdown – oik-block/countdown
Countdown timer
CSS – oik-block/css
Inline CSS
CSV – oik-block/csv
Displays CSV content
Dashicon – oik-block/dashicon
Displays icons
Fields – oik-block/fields
Displays Fields
Follow me – oik-block/follow-me
Displays Social media links
GeSHi – oik-block/geshi
Generic Syntax Highlighting – for code examples
GitHub Issue – oik-block/github
Display a link to a GitHub issue
Google Maps – oik-block/googlemap
Displays a Google Maps map
Magnetic Poetry – oik-block/magnetic-poetry
Write magnetic poetry refrigerator messages
Nivo slider – oik-block/nivo
Nivo slider
Person – oik-block/person
Displays a person’s information
Search – oik-block/search
Displays a search form
Shortcode block – oik-block/shortcode-block
Expands oik shortcodes
UK Tides – oik-block/uk-tides
Tide times and heights
WordPress – oik-block/wp
Displays information about WordPress and PHP versions

Some of these blocks are duplicated many times by other plugins. Some of the other plugins provide better versions of the blocks. But, rather than drop my blocks, I’ll continue to enhance my versions while the Defacto standard for a particular block has not been set.

Of course, I won’t know which is the best version until I’ve catalogued them all. it’s going to take some time and i hope it’s going to be worth it.

genesis-hm – block test

Which blocks have a colour selector and how many are right/wrong?

Shouldn’t this be a block example!

Note: dry-run parameter is not prefixed with `–`.
