But does it work?
A couple minutes of basic usage (FF20, Linux) have me in pain:
- CTRL-B (and presumably other shortcuts) doesn't always take effect immediately. Sometimes there is delay, sometimes it seems necessary to let go of CTRL for the event to get flushed, sometimes nothing ever happens at all. Multiple hits without letting go of CTRL also behave erratically.
- Focus stays on formatting buttons and requires manual click to get back to text widget. Several times I wondered where my text was, only to realize focus was on wrong widget.
- By far the worst thing: the way formatting codes are handled leaves me crying for WordPerfect's Reveal Codes. Make some text bold, unbold the text after it, type something right after the bolded text, it isn't bold, hit enter for new line and type something, now it became bold again. Argh!
I like the idea of this, but presently there are some rough edges.
