Hi, first off, love that you've decided to keep it open source (lack of open-source code is what pushed me away from sublime into the arms of my current mistress, emacs), keep up the good work!
Can I digress into a feature suggestion? This is no small one and I don't really know where it lies on a feasibility scale. One thing I'd really like would be the ability to turn whatever text-box I'm writing in into a frame of my current editor (I currently use edit-with-emacs). I looked into writing a chrome-extension (which is the only way I can think of to accomplish it) with ACE editor to do this but I didn't have enough time.
My thoughts are, since you use a web based editor, you can use javascript to replace the input box with a resized frame of your editor, the next requirement is importing your personal user settings from your chrome packaged app into the frame to have it working there (I currently don't know how you'd accomplish this, maybe some integration with google drive which you already have for your notes?).
The main reason I think this would be a useful feature is vim keybindings, I use them for everything and feel less productive editing text without them. Being able to integrate the IDE that I use and am used to into every text box ubiquitously on the web seems like a huge win to me.
Sorry about the digression, it's just I liked the sound of your application and wanted to share the one thing I've been missing online (which is a web-based editor where it's extensible, and can be used on any site, I do realise that there is a big gap between your project and my feature suggestion, just wanted to make it.)
- dangoor 13y agoWe actually talked about that feature a good bit when working on Bespin (in 2009). I haven't used it in years, but you may find this bookmarklet helpful: http://ajaxorg.github.io/ace/build/textarea/editor.html http://ajaxorg.github.io/ace/build/textarea/editor.html
