So, after a long discussion, and 1 month since the day Felix announced his intention, which is the final feature that is selected to be implemented, guys?

About shortcuts for simply:
just adding fixed short cuts to actions and some new actions can be done pretty fast,
but support for user defined short cuts like in Freeplane is pretty difficult and requires more time and efforts.
What exactly do you need?

Dimitri, for me the necessary shortcuts in simply would be...
Italics
Bold
Underline
Red
Blue
Dark green
No format (or at least black)
Also, shortcuts for the menus,
the classical Alt_'whatever letter for menu' + letter for all items under
menu.
And an absolute must would be zooming in SimplyHTML. The size of the text should
correspond to the zooming in Freeplane at any moment.
Or even better, the zooming should be remembered from last instance. That
way you could see many nodes in freeplane with a small zoom, and then
activate simply with a big zoom for comfortable editing through text with a
big font. It would be a power combination. A general view of the map in
Freeplane, and a close up to great detail through Simply.
Thank you so much!

Since you are improving SimplyHTML, may I suggest some ideas:
Firstly, it would be wonderful if the results of the "Find and replace" dialog are highlighted. This is like when you perform a search for a specific word in Firefox and all intances of that word is highlighted.
Secondly, it would be better if the "Find and replace" dialog is non-modal. Because when we perform a search in a long note, we often want to scroll-down the note to get a glimpse of the intances of the matched word. Right now this is not possible because the "Find and replace" dialog is modal.
If these improvements are not too difficult and time-consuming, please implement them, because they will significantly enhance user's experience when working with long notes.
Best regards,
Roberto.

Leo I believe markdown -> html is a unidireccional conversion. So you
cannot convert back html -> markdown, and that just cripples all the html
formatting goodies like fg-colors bg-colors etc
You could create a markdown text and from it create then a html. But once
you modify that html (adding colors for example) then you cant get back to
markdown, and at that point the markdown-editor is of no use...
Hope I got that right and explained...

Felix is implementing scalable icons (svg),
synchronized map views, non modal editors and short cuts for simply html are on my to do list
Brilliant! What more can we ask? A remarkable product with responsive developers was one the reasons why I became a FP enthusiastic user :)
Shortcuts for Simply!!! At last!!! 😊😊😊

I think many actions with fixed-shortcuts is a great tradeoff. That
alone would already give a great productivity boost to SimpleHtml.

Hi Dimitry and the dev community,
Thank you very much for your efforts.

An interesting open source markdown editor with live HTML preview --Ideas for a future SimplyHTML or a replacement option.
