So many New Paragraphs....

Don't hit that enter button multiple times.... or you might get this:

We need to do something about all those blocks that show up like this....

Isn't this expected? You hit enter so many times, so you created so many new paragraphs.

This is a good example of the micro-overhead that is caused by the yet-to-be-massaged fine grained interactions (see #2279)

In this particular example, if

• the new paragraph did not have placeholder text and/or
• the paragraph decorations (toolbar, arrows/cog & trash) did not pop up on up-down arrow or mouseover

the interface would impose less cognitive load on the user

@annaephox I agree - on consecutive paragraphs, I think too much interface is introduced for such a simple content creation flow. Also, selecting text in multiple paragraph blocks selects the blocks themselves, not the text inside, which I think can be confusing.

If these paragraphs need to be registered as blocks for proper rendering, then I'd suggest showing less of that to the user and making consecutive paragraphs more cohesive (e.g., Medium).
