I do not know about you but I'm highly accustomed to code editors' font styles (are those called sans fonts? I don't know the technical name.). Coding fonts have consistent margins which improves readability to me. So I've written a userscript for it. Just install Tampermonkey and paste this gist.
Currently, what it does is to change the font of your draft editor and story editor, nothing much.
I have also tried some scripts to turn editor into live Markdown editor with proper highlighting with this thing but no luck so far. Basically, editor goes display: none; by default for some reason and even if I remove display CSS attribute, the editor comes back but it will not have effect. If you think you can tackle it, please do so. You can inject a third party JS or CSS to a userscript as below:
// @resource someNameForSomeReason url_to_css
// @require url_to_js
j
stuff ;)
No i am not. It's sadly still full of bugs, the internationalization based on keyboard layouts does not work. It deletes texts as soon as I enter double quotes, they don't use monospace letter sets ....
I am not a designer and they have enough things to do ... my focus is more on functionality, consistency and simplicity ... and I wrote those things with IE6 so I know what's possible ...
Also I am old enough to know that software is complex. Still those bugs annoy me for several years now. They fixed it wrong by don't differentiating between keyCode and charCode .... since the 2 in the english keyboard is an @ and i the german / latin keyboards it's the doublequote .... so now I can tag with the @ sign and with the double quote.
So lets just say I like the guys a lot and appreciate what they are doing, but the editor has a lot of room for improvement and is actually the worst thing about the platform ... also that I cannot preview a comment on another response and so on.
I would just like a button that disables the whole text editor and I just write plain markdown.
