 Have you ever accidentally clicked on "edit site" instead of "edit page"?
 I've been working extensively with block themes lately, and I find myself
 making this mistake often, even though I clearly know the difference
 between the two buttons. After asking around, it seems I'm not the only
 one.

 Secondly, when I'm in the admin area working on a block theme, I always
 look for the "Edit site" button, but it's not there. Instead, I have to
 navigate to Appearance > Editor.

 Here's my simple proposition:

 - The link is always called "Editor"
 - The link is always visible if you have activated a block theme.

 It's a small change, but it would greatly improve the user experience!
