GhostText cannot detect or edit TinyMCE content #311

Open BirdyOz opened 1 week ago

Description and repro

Many technologies, including Moodle are adopting TinyMCE as their preferred Rich Text Editor, moving away from other RTE's such as ATTO.

GhostText is unable to detect or interact with content within TinyMCE. My suspicion is twofold:

  1. That the TinyMCE editor loads within an iframe
  2. That the TinyMCE editor itself does not contain a <textarea> element. Rather, it seems to update a hidden textarea field in the parent/lauching doc.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Visit Basic example | TinyMCE Documentation
  2. Attempt to use GhostText to connect to your preferred IDE (for me, this is SublimeText)

Browser(s) tried

Chrome

Editor(s) tried

SublimeText

Yes it's not supported. PR welcome to add support for the field

Note that TinyMCE is a WYSIWYG field, which GhostText hasn't supported at this point.

Hi fregante. Thankyou so much for your prompt reply. I take it from this that GhostText is unlikely to support TinyMCE or other WYSIWYG/RTE editors in the near future.

It might have been a happy accident that it has worked so well with the ATTO editor for so long. I have found GhostText invaluable in my Moodle development. Fortunately, I think I have a year before Moodle fully deprecates the ATTO editor, so I'll have to adjust for (or mourn for) its loss.

Thanks for your amazing product
