Device-specific editor selection

Open tmatijevich opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi Standard Notes team,

Is it possible to edit a note with a specific editor on each device? For example, Markdown Pro on desktop and Plain Text on mobile.

This is currently not possible for me, if I change it on mobile - I have to change it back the next time on desktop. Desktop version 3.9.20 on Windows 10 64. Mobile version 3.9.12 on iOS 15.3.

Thank you for standard notes.

Hmm I don't think this is possible. Wouldn't make sense in most cases. Happens to make sense for Markdown because it's backward compatible with plaintext, but only Markdown has this property (html, spreadsheet, etc don't).

I disagree, of the nine editors available by default (Plus plan) - eight are text-based:

  1. Plain Editor
  2. Bold Editor
  3. Code Editor
  4. Markdown Basic
  5. Markdown Math
  6. Markdown Minimist
  7. Markdown Pro
  8. Plus Editor

I still imagine users would find it beneficial to choose these different editors for different devices.
