Consider showing how many blocks are selected in a multi-selection instance to help clarify that movers, etc, apply to all blocks.

Also, transform tools are confusingly placed at the top:

They should appear there only if the user has chosen to have a fixed toolbar, otherwise it should show by the blocks.

I like this and showing how many makes a lot of sense.

Side point, a thought buzzing around my head is maybe to only show transforms on ellipsis. I just am not sure they need to be in both places right now. If you had that by the block you'd be experiencing some visual complexity.

Notably, it was decided to only show transforms in the block toolbar and not in the ellipsis menu, so showing the transform options in the ellipsis menu is no longer a good option since it would introduce an inconsistency, as well as not work with the upcoming redesign of the transform button to use a UI that resembles the block inserter.

#7891 has moved the block toolbar to appear inline for a multiple block selection. Notably, it does not stay on-screen when you scroll down past the first block. See #7962.

Going to close this as the multi-selection UI changed and the switcher is by the block now while the number of blocks is shown in the sidebar
