It was a nice read, and I like the way the idea was presented. But one thing that stood out to me as kind of odd was the distinction between typing lowercase and uppercase characters.
Automatically assuming lowercase to be a "keyword" does not seem like the right idea to me. Most sentences on the web might start with a capital, but not all of them will do. (For example here on HN, you have in the nav bar "new | threads | comments | .." None of them starting with a capital.
- netsharc 10y agoThis irritated me too. I suppose a shortcut can be added to say "treat the next thing entered as a text element", along with the uppercase shortcut. So the user can type e.g. "!new" and the editor will make a text node with "new" as its content.
- sakamies 10y agoI agree, that much assumptions in the keyboard handling could get irritating quickly. Keyboard combos for actions would be the obvious choice, but I'd like to have something more automatic too.
