So, other than the accessability, is there any reason for a non-mobile user (or non-mobile plugin users) to switch. I ask because switching to the beta loses all of my custom css (which I understand was never guaranteed to last).
Here's a non-exhaustive list of changes:
Keyboard shortcuts
- Bold/italicize/code shortcuts act more like they do in a WYSIWYG editor. For example, if
| denotes the cursor:
- Pressing ctrl-b:
**bold|** -> **bold**|
- Pressing ctrl-`:
`co|de` -> code| (all selected).
- Pressing ctrl-` twice creates a code block (rather than toggling inline code twice)
- The Vim keyboard mode supports copy/paste through the
"+ register
Autocomplete
- Ordered lists auto-renumber in some circumstances.
- HTML tags autocomplete: typing
<p>| autocompletes to <p>|</p> (where | is the cursor).
Find
- The find/replace dialog has replace.
- It's style is still the CodeMirror 6 default --- changing the style of the dialog is planned.
Syntax highlighting
In CodeMirror 5, it was necessary to add markdown="1" to HTML elements to get markdown syntax highlighting inside of them. For example,
<div>
In CM5, `markdown` here is **not** highlighted. However, it is in CodeMirror 6.
</div>
This matches Joplin's rendering in the viewer.
