Great Plugin, @spirobel! This is what our very non-techy users need and I think that it will grease the wheels of our site markedly. Thank you for the time and effort that you have put into it. I’ve noticed a couple of issues that may be helpful ### Clash with Shared Edits I’ve just installed both this and [Discourse Shared Edits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-shared-edits/167583). Somewhat unsurprisingly, they clash a little bit. But it looks like it might be in a fixable way. Would you consider looking at making them compatible? Personally, I see them as both being indispensable into the future. What happens is that when I Shared Edit a post using the Basic Editor, the existing text in the post is wiped and can only be retrieved by rolling back the edit. ### @mentions not giving suggestions Discourse Basic Editor seems to break @mentioning partially. When I try to mention you here, I get this: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/0/e0ddb6e1ad0f046fc13fff5a32db794b83db0ea7.png) When I activate Basic Editor, the suggestions no longer occur. This is also the case if I click Advanced Editing. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-basic-editor/159431)._
