• The fact that a single Enter press is treated as two Enter presses from the markdown editor is a tad jarring. I suppose this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this approach, but if people can toggle between markdown editor and rich editor, the inconsistency might get confusing. Not everyone will necessarily know that Shift + Enter will act as a single Enter does in the markdown editor.

Editors are relatively split on this option. For example, Google Docs has Enter = line break, but Notion has Enter = paragraph break. I think your point about consistency between Markdown mode and the rich text editor is fair, though.

• Making a header section (e.g. typing # followed by space), then typing some characters, then deleting those characters causes the scroll bar to scroll up for no apparent reason. This only happens if the editor is scrolled all the way down.

I can’t reproduce this with your current steps, could you provide browser details and more detailed instructions or a recording? Thank you!

Supporting adding backticks in reverse order is incredibly important. It’s not uncommon to decide to add backticks for formatting after already typing out a word.

@seanblue

When working with a mix of code formatted text (backtick) and not, it’s impossible to type plaintext directly after the formatted text when revising what you already wrote.

We’re working on some fixes to how inline code works in the editor, which should resolve this problem.

@seanblue

When working with a number list or bullet point list, if the curser is on the line after the list has ended, hitting Backspace will add a new list item. This isn’t a problem per se, it’s just a bit unexpected.

Good catch, I agree that’s unexpected. I’ll report to our team to fix.

@seanblue

There’s no indication of what formatting option is active.

We’re working on this!
