I’ve seen the thread requesting markdown buttons on mobile, where space constraints are noted as a challenge. Without that, it would be a huge help if the mobile app could at least have the some list continuations that the desktops apps have (e.g. hit enter on a - [ ] line and get a new line starti…

Last time I tried the text area component was quite buggy which prevented this behaviour as well as the toolbar from working. I think there’s a branch with all this on GitHub. Since then, maybe now the component is less buggy and the toolbar would work, I’d need to check.

Awesome thanks, FWIW if it’s the toolbar that’s problematic, I think the continuation at least would be really clutch on its own Personally I’d rather just type markdown anyway than have another toolbar on the screen…the keyboard already has all the buttons! It’s just excessive how many keyboard cl…

The lack of list continuation is one of the most frustrating things about using Joplin on Android. I do a lot of my note editing on the Planet Computers Gemini, so I work around the issue by copying - [ ] and pasting it with CTRL-V at the start of each line, but on keyboardless devices this simply n…

Hi I totally agree to what you have said. A toolbar would be much easier and yes it could be made optional for people who like more screen real estate.

A great example of how this can be done is the Markor editor.

Absolutely need this. Huge numbers of editors support continuation, for lists of all types including checkboxes. Wunderlist, Dynalist, Taskade, Google Keep, the list goes on and on. The amount of keypresses to get a single checkbox is ridiculous.

We are using the ace editor, which is used by the brace node module. You can create feature requests with those 2 projects. Then we can use a new version of their code. There’s also a discussion going on about replacing the editor, thus I don’t think that anyone will invest much time to tweak the c…

Would this be for the desktop app (which I honestly have no issues with at all)? Because that already has continuation. We’re specifically after this in the mobile app (iOS for me). if Ace/Brace is iOS though, I’d definitely be hoping a newer and better editor that allows for a toolbar.

This would be my number 1 request. The fact that I have to tap 9 keys on my phone to get one single checkbox items is absurd: [Number Key] -[Number Key] [1/2 Key] [ [Space Key] [Number Key] [1/2 Key] ] [Space Key] On the desktop all I have to press is the Enter key, so 90% more efficient… yet the …

Ok, my bad. For some strange reason I thought we also used ace/brace on mobile but I was wrong. It must have been a chemical inbalance that flipped a bit in my brain... :wink: Laurent experimented with a toolbar on mobile but it had some issues due to buggy components. I'm not sure how it would be…
