+1 strong agree. I like Google Docs’ realtime collaborative editing, but the wysiwyg formatting (even if one has memorized the keyboard shortcuts) makes it hard to be fast the way I am in a Markdown-aware editor or vim. Plus I miss my vim motions!
- bostik 3y agoI'd settle for a Markdown import. You could do your editing and writing of raw text in whatever you feel happy with, and then have gdocs transform it to its supposedly native format on upload. Gdocs would then really only need to support the same semantics with underscores, asterisks, octothorpe heading levels and title sizes.

- dkasak 3y agoOh boy, do I have a treat for you. Try saving the following as `input.md`: # Hello *world* ## Math $$x = 2 \cdot y^3$$ - foo - bar - baz 1. Yes 2. No 3. Maybe --- Right Left Center Default ------- ------ ---------- ------- 12 12 12 12 123 123 123 123 1 1 1 1 Table: Demonstration of simple table syntax. Then run pandoc -t html input.md | xclip -selection clipboard -t 'text/html' And paste into a Google doc.
- bostik 3y agoWhoah, that is a seriously neat trick. Thank you.
