Hi Jim,
It’s good to hear that improvements to the editor are under consideration. I had no doubt that they weren’t, of course: the Markdown environment in DT3 has made so many reallly useful improvements over the last few iterations.
But may I make a repeat of my regular request you consider typewriter scrolling? For me, this is the main reason why I have to use an external editor for long notes. It is really distracting to have the cursor butting up against the bottom of the window, particularly as we have no control over line spacing and margins.
It doesn’t even have to be full typewriter scrolling – even something like Overscroll (as implemented in, say, BBEdit, where you have a short cut (ctl-L) to return the editing line to middle of the screen) would be a vast improvement. (DT3 implements ctl-L, but not at the bottom of the text, where it is really needed.)
This isn’t a plea to turn DT3 into a full-blown Markdown editor: it would benefit RTF and Formatted notes users alike, of course.
I’ve asked for this a few times over the last ten years (and the first feature request for it on the forum was 2009), so it would be good to know that it is on the roadmap.
Thanks!
