[Feature Request] LivePreview Compatibility #58

Closed Enteleform closed 8 years ago

Enteleform commented 8 years ago

When using GhostText in a text field which has LivePreview ( SublimeText Forum, StackOverflow, etc. ), the preview does not update unless you go back & manually edit the original text field:

It would be great if you could alter the output method so that it affects text fields as if a user was directly manipulating them.

Aside from that, awesome plugin man! :+1:

The feature already works on StackOverflow by simulating a few keyboard events:

The issue was being discussed here: https://github.com/Cacodaimon/GhostText-for-Chrome/issues/43

Gotcha. Hadn't tested it on StackOverflow & shouldn't have assumed that it would have the same result.

However; the issue demonstration GIF was recorded @ the SublimeText forum, which still behaves in the originally described manner.

You're right, it still is an issue but it's part of the Chrome extension and the feature request is already open there.
