3/4 Implementing the EdMode
In this example we will keep it simple and focus on 2 things:
- registering the editor mode inside the constructor: enables our custom mode to show up in the dropdown
- overriding the toolkit: gives up complete control over the mode's editor tab

4/4 Implementing the widget
In our custom toolkit, we will override the GetInlineContent. This enables use to override the default behavior (showing details about the mode + a details view) by creating a custom text widget.
