@personalizedrefriger, I've now released a pre-release with your editor changes:

Android pre-release 2.9 is now available (Updated 23 October)

The new Android pre-release is now available with the below changes. The main changes are the work done by Henry on the new text editor, and the fix to filesystem sync. The APK can be downloaded from there: Changelog is there:

One thing I've noticed however is that the toolbar doesn't show up at all, at least on Android.

Another issue is that the editor sometimes opens blank, even on an existing note. This is unfortunately quite random and I wasn't able to replicate it with any specific note in particular. I assume it's some race condition, perhaps the editor not being fully ready when a command is executed.

Edit: Ok I've just realised that the command are only keyboard activated. Do you plan to add the toolbar next?

Yes! That's next.

Where you like me to put bug reports for this feature, on GitHub directly?

Another issue I've noticed related to selection:

• If I long press on a word, the word is selected but the context menu (with copy, select all, etc) doesn't appear

bug reports for this feature, on GitHub directly

I'll enable issue reports on my fork of the repository later today. For now, posting them here/on GitHub is fine.
