Zoom out: Add an Editor setting to disable Zoom out mode #63584

The experimental Zoom out mode is very exciting and should make composing sites with patterns much easier for the vast majority of WordPress users.

That said, there are going to be scenarios where the mode is not what the user/developer wants. Perhaps they only use a few patterns, and they are not designed as sections. Either way, when the mode is officially released, it should come with an Editor setting that allows developers to easily disable it if needed in their environment using existing filters like block_editor_settings_all.

Agreed! We need an option to disable this annoying functionality. Shrinking the layout doesn't automagically make the page easier to edit. It's also supposed to 'Zoom Out' when you switch back to the Blocks tab, but it's unreliable and that doesn't always happen. This option needs to be added before 6.7 is rolled out.
