Enter notes as Markdown

Joplin version 2.7.15, OS Ubuntu

When I upgraded to the latest version of Joplin, I noticed that the previously "experimental" WYSIWYG editor was now the default, and there was no way to enter notes as plain Markdown (that I could find).

The whole reason I started using Joplin was because I could enter the notes as Markdown - I'm very familiar with MD, and it's easier for me than having to memorize keystrokes to format messages. Now, I find I have to use a WYSIWYG editor like every other application, which makes Joplin of very little use for me.

My question: Is there a way to turn off the WYSIWYG editor so I can enter plain Markdown (other than editing it in an external editor)? To be honest, this is a deal-breaker for me if I can't.

Thank you.

I think you have switch the editor, switch it back to the MD editor.

When I click on that button, it just gives me a read-only version that I can't modify

ok, then switch the layout from the viewer to editor with Ctrl + L or in the menue.

Or rather than using the menu, use the Layout Button (blue box)...

layout_button

... and the views that this button cycles through when pressed is set by "Layout button sequence" in the menu (blue box).
