Awesome!

This toolbar is cool, the next step would be to make it a fully featured WYSIWYG!

I was about to write a super long comment on all the missing stuff, but guess what, @inhuofficial beat me to it and wrote a whole article on it! It has all the stuff I want to mention.

Some issues I found:

  • The editor guide opens in the same page, so you may lose unsaved content (target="docs")
  • cmd b for bold opens up bookmarks on Firefox (this can be solved by preventDefault I think)
  • cmd i for italic opens up page info on Firefox

Feature requests:

  • Selecting text and pressing "/'/*/_/< etc. should wrap the text in the right character
  • Support adding more elements (mark, center, abbr, etc.)

Anyways great job, this will be pretty useful for people unfamilliar with markdown but for this to be useful to markdown pros you will need a few more features!
