I have updated my editor project. The revised version can be found at: 
http://tw5editor.tiddlyspot.com/

The revisions incorporate many, though not all, of the features suggested 
and essentially all of the identified bugs.

Jed - I have added the monospace code block and the Search and Replace 
functionality. I haven't implemented the other things you suggested because 
of limitations within Tiddlywiki and my own programming ability. I agree 
that the sublime functions are seriously cool but they are well beyond my 
abilities.

PMaro - I would have referred to it as Beta testing but I like the phrase 
"battle testing." As you suggested I am passing on the keyboard shortcuts 
in part because of Danielo's work in that area. I added the Search and 
Replace and I don't think it makes the interface too bad. I would like to 
hear your opinion on that as well.

Rich - As I said above, I'm passing on the keyboard shortcuts. Take a look 
at Danielo's keyboard snippets:

Tobias - There are folks who create web-pages with Notepad and those who 
have to have a full WYSIWYG html editor. This project is aimed for those 
somewhere in between. A good fraction of what I'm doing was inspired by 
Eric's QuickEdit package. I used that extensively when I worked with TWC 
and missed it a lot when I made the switch to TW5. Part of the thought with 
the switching help/preview panel was that it could contain snippets and 
filters and such that could be copied from the right side and pasted into 
the left side. I know you have a huge collection of that sort of material 
in your various tiddlyspot sites and if you could suggest a few tiddlers 
that could be incorporated into that system, I would be happy to include 
them. I did switch all the icons to SVG and I did fix the issue with the 
editor losing the highlighting of the selection and focus.

Andrew - I have spent a lot of time working on Undo/Redo routines. As it 
stands, I have routines that work in Chrome and Internet Explorer but which 
don't work in Firefox. The obstacle appears to be that Firefox blocks the 
action of the javascript Undo/Redo function when applied to a textarea. If 
you use a browser other than Firefox, I would be happy to show you how to 
install icons to run those routines.

The project is a work in progress. I'm still not happy with the appearance 
and given the divergence of opinions, I would like the user to be able to 
easily select which icons appear and which ones are hidden.

I would like to reiterate that, as PMario might put it, this project still 
needs to be battle tested before you rely on it. I don't think there are 
any lethal bugs but I fully expect there to be annoying and irritating 
surprises to be discovered. I have not tested this on the TiddlyWiki 
desktop or on Safari. If you have one of those available to you, I would 
appreciate it if you would give the project a try and let me know what you 
find.

I made some choices with the implementation of the Search and Replace 
function that others may find annoying. For example, Find is case 
sensitive. Searching for "the" will find the middle of "other" but not 
"Theatre." The Find and Replace might be better described as Replace the 
selected and Find Next. That sort of thing. 

Let me know what you think.
