really this about both text editors. I prefer rich text since it works in one window, and I can just start typing without clicking the edit button. What is annoying is having to use shift/enter to single space. this is how it works on my desktop, win10, now win11.
That said, I was using joplin on laptop, win10. It was in single screen view mode, single spacing when hitting enter, and in md mode. Great I thought, joplin was updated and improved. Then I used it on desktop and found it didn't work the same way. Same version on both computers. Except for yesyoukan, same plugins on both.
I think that how it is working on laptop: single screen view, edit without hitting edit button, single space is great. but, I guess, it is not supposed to work like this. But this is ok. I prefer it. How do I get the desktop to "malfunction" like this?
There's also a keyboard shortcut (ctrl + l by default I think)
You can also choose which layouts get cycled through when clicking toggle editor layout (or using the keyboard shortcut) under View | Layout button sequence.
Also, if you prefer a more rich text editor like experience, you might try enabling the "render markup in the editor" option (if it's not already enabled) under Tools | Options | Note. When this option is enabled, markdown will be rendered (and the special markdown formatting characters hidden) on everything except the selected line in the markdown editor. NOTE: This option requires a recent version of Joplin.
I’m guessing you might have downloaded one of the pre-release versions which enable the new “render markdown in editor” option by default, then since upgraded to a version which reverted enabling that by default, and installed the same version on your other computer. To match the same behaviour on both computers, make sure you’re using the single screen markdown editor on both and have the “render markdown in editor” and “render images in editor” settings enabled on both as well.
Thanks for suggestions. As far as I can tell, settings on both instances are the same. Yet behavior is different. They toggle thru view the same, and tools.optoins> note>render are set the same. On the laptop, markdown symbols are hidden except for line being worked on, as you mention. But not on desktop.
If there is difference in settings, it is eluding me.
Wait! I just figured it out. In toggling through the views, 2 look the same. Split screen is different. It is one of the single views that I needed. I don’t know which one it is, but it is now the same on both.
Having markdown and rich text seems to make operations complicated. I am set to using markdown, only because it allows single spacing when hitting return. Otherwise I don’t see the point in it.
