Thanks, @ellatrix. This works really well for backward merges, but why not handle forward ones too? In the screencast below, I try to merge two lists in both directions, then two quotes in both directions: merging-consecutive-lists-quotes.mov |

This is working really nicely, thanks for the follow-up.
There are still things to iterate on — like only unwrapping the selected inner block and not all of its siblings — but I'll be happy with just getting the essential merging support in 6.1.
What do you think? Does this PR need anything else right now?

You raise an interesting question here. What led you to this check? For me, the first scenario that came to mind was merging between a UL and a OL. I first expected to just merge (i.e. skip this check), but on the other hand the way that Backspace unwraps the LI first means that the next Backspace will be very obvious (merge into the prev list, regardless of UL/OL).

Yes, not sure if we should keep this check or not. This is generalised for all wrapper blocks. If two quotes have an empty or same citation, they can be merged, otherwise not. If two group blocks have the same background color, they can be merged, otherwise not. But you could also make the case that we should just merge them regardless of attributes, and maybe keep the attributes of the currently selected block.

At the risk of overpinging, @jasmussen might be someone who cares about these details like we do. :)

I have this feeling — and correct me if I'm off beat here — that there's already a great deal of complexity around this handling. In that light, I would err on the sake of simplicity, and only add checks when we know we need them.
In this case, by having a singular merging behavior — allowing it regardless of props set — we'd also never run into the question of "why did it work this one time, but not that other"?
Not a strong opinion, but it's one that makes me lean towards starting with less.

For me that's fine if we're ok with the potential content loss. E.g. if we're merging two quotes with cites, the cite of the quote we're merging will be lost. Is that ok? I added these checks because I though that's not ok.
I don't mind either way. We can also try to remove the aggressive unwrapping in this PR. What do you think? |

You know the machinery better, but I'd say we could feasibly improve the unwrapping in a day, right? If not, might as well merge and iterate. |
I thought it was about whether it can be included in the release or not :) |
Well, yes, that was my rationale: I'd rather prioritise getting any kind of merging into 6.1. So, unless the improved unwrapping can be added very quickly, it seems better to just merge this PR so that, in parallel, in can be backported. |

I just cherry-picked this PR to the wp/6.1 branch to get it included in the next release: 5b9c3dd |

Fixes #44436
What?
Allows inner blocks to be merged if the current and previous wrappers are the same (block name and attributes are equal).
Why?
This is useful in particular for lists: it allows you to merge list items into the previous list (if the list attributes are the same).
But it is also useful for other blocks like quote and group. If two quotes have the same cite (or no cite), the contents can be merged. And if two group blocks have the same attributes (e.g. same colour), the contents can be merged.
How?
Extends the
onMergefunction.Testing Instructions
There's in total 6 behaviours to test for both list and quote. Set up as following: one paragraph, two separate list blocks, and another paragraph. Undo the action after each step.
