Text Editing #10

Would it be possible to use basic/standard commands (cmd+B = bold, for example) instead of the current simplified back-end markup we use?

@Isabel-Vazquez - Yes, totally. The thing I've long wanted to do was change the 'textarea' arrangement to the process of editing because it's a pain in the butt to fix a typo or tweak a phrase.

When I developed the site, the farthest I got was putting the lil 'edit' buttons on things that can be edited right there instead of looking things up in a backend CMS interface. I've been tinkering with a way to edit what you are looking at directly without clicking edit or anything... by using a keyboard shortcut actually.

I'm confident this will work, and you could add additional key shortcuts for many edits. The bad news is that it would require a major revision to the current CMS and template system to implement this work. I've created a milestone for 'version 3' that I've added this to, because I think it should actually be the de-facto way things work.

This is exciting! Is this possible as an ongoing project to start right now (updating the current CMS and template system) or is this a larger conversation?
