Edit: I’m a bit lost in all the discussions about the editor (aka composer) and I don’t know in which topic should I post. There’s [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/redesign-editor-to-improve-the-writing-experience-on-desktop/34957/11) and [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-us-test-the-rewritten-composer/34679) and [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/more-advance-editor-should-be-here/14102/16)…
