Hide/Disable WordPress Editor and Make Elementor Default Editor

Question

I'm working with Elementor, I want to hide/disable the WordPress Editor option to edit any page/post instead I want to show only the Edit with Elementor option i.e I want to make Elementor my Default Editor. In Image, You can see that there is an option "back to WordPress Editor" I want to show here only "Edit With Elementor" so that When I have selected a category and other stuff then I can edit it with Elementor. How Can I do this?

Answer 1

Someone made a plugin for that here : Make Elementor your default editor

However, if you need more control over the code, this is how it was made :

<?php

/**
 * Make Elementor the default editor, not the WordPress Editor (Gutenberg or Classic)
 * Clicking the page title will take you to the Elementor editor directly
 * Even non-Elementor-edited pages will become Elementor-edited pages now
 * You can revert by clicking the "Back to WordPress Editor" button
