Make 'Externals' and similar features available through editor kitchen sink #2379

Closed whysthatso closed 2 years ago

Which part of the project should be enhanced?

the kitchen sink of the editor should preferably contain a dropdown with all the supported Externals embed options, ideally inserting a snippet to be completed.

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

i've just read a comparison to dropbox paper and somebody mentioned easy embeds with either preview snippets a la facebook timeline or proper embeds a la youtube. i remembered that this was a hedgedoc feature but when putting in a youtube link nothing happened. i went back into the feature list of the main site to see that it's necessary to enter a little curly braces snippet.

auto-detecting the necessary embed via the link would be amazing, but the snippets are fine too. but they should be available directly in the editor, so as to have a single place of features. this would dramatically improve the user experience

Describe the solution you'd like

depending on the feature, a dropdown in the editor kitchen sink might suffice, TOC is another candidate, emojis, todo lists, etc . basically all the features should be represented.

Describe alternatives you've considered

a link in the editor to the feature list / feature documentation? but then i would be directed out of context again, so not really preferable.

Hello, thanks for your issue.

We're aware of the lack of function buttons in the toolbar and plan to improve this in HedgeDoc 2 which will receive a complete redesign.

The short codes for YouTube/Vimeo etc are deprecated in HedgeDoc 2 and will be removed in a following version. Just inserting the links will be the way to go.
