Necroposting does not exist in the Suggestions forum.
It does not count as a necropost if it is constructive, and if it adds to the suggestion.

I'm surprised this isn't already a feature.

I don't see why this isn't already implemented. I've had this issue multiple times, and while it isn't a big one, it would still be nice to be able to swap between the two blocks quickly.

Support. I find it very annoying when I drag the if then block instead of the if then else block when I'm watching a tutorial.

its not that hard to just swap them…

But, this is much more convenient and helps with extremely large scripts. I don't understand why you'd be against making something easier

Also a specific addon I can't mention already has this implemented, and I find it helpful there, so support for having it added to vanilla Scratch

DifferentDance8

Support! I find this incredibly useful in nono word, so IDK why this wouldn't be implemented in vanilla.

There is no reason to not support the ability to refactor code. It's so common in text editors to help ease pain among developers, so why can't Scratch use something like this? I guess it's a rather subtle refactor, but it can seriously increase productivity in Scratch projects.

Why should you have to drag out all the code in a giant if statement just to add “else” logic?

Sometimes I drag an if block and put scripts into it, then notice it should have been an if-else block instead. Now I have to drag the script out, and grab an if-else block.
Q. What happens when an if else changes to an if?
A. If there is a script in the else part of the block when it is converted from if-else to if, the script could just move out.

Q. But you can manually drag the blocks from the pallette instead.
A. It is more efficient to use this idea, saving time and having less chance to ruin/misplace blocks in a script you are moving.

I feel like there should just be the ability to add more else to an if block and remove the if else block entirely

that would probably break a LOT of projects if you got rid of the ifelse.

bump i think this is still an interesting topic at the very least and i want to know more thoughts on it

PkmnQ

I think this is a dupe of a more general suggestion, let me find it

Little_Mittle12345

Support.
This is a better idea

if <> then @addInput {}:: control
if <> then @delInput{
}else{
}:: control
