Feature ideas

[Eddie_Carter]

Hello, I am a new Inkdrop user, so I am sorry if there is something I state that already exists (I just couldn’t find it). Here are some cool feature ideas that I believe would make Inkdrop even better!

1. Search bar in settings to search for different settings
2. A feature where you can view the preview as you type it. Instead of having it on the side, it will render the Markdown text as you type it in the same window
3. Maybe add a / context menu that will show you Markdown elements you can use (ex. /heading is a h1 tag, /heading2 is a h2 tag)

I personally believe these are some cool features that would make Inkdrop even better

As I said, sorry if one of these features already exists or something has already made a topic about it, I was just unable to find it.

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.

1. Search bar in settings to search for different settings

No. Because there are not as many preferences as search bar is necessary

2. A feature where you can view the preview as you type it

No. Inkdrop will never support WYSIWYG. It’s a core concept. Check out the duplicate topics:

Ability to type in preview window

I recently tried out Typora, another markdown editor. While it lacks a lot of features that I love in Inkdrop, one feature that I liked was being able to type in the preview window. It still required the user to enter markdown, but didn’t require a separate syntax pane for markdown entry. I think that this option would be useful for things like taking notes in meetings and such, where there isn’t a need to see the code structure.

A few feature requests

Great desktop client. It’s clean, responsive and makes note taking quick and productive. But here are some recommendations/suggesstions On the desktop app: When right clicking on a highlighted text, add the option to replace it hyperlink from the clipboard. And/or when pasting a link, automatically recognize it as a hyperlink, place the link within the brackets () and place the cursor in the square brackets to immediately start typing the name of the hyperlink. And generally more auto-comple…

3. Maybe add a / context menu that will show you Markdown elements you can use (ex. /heading is a h1 tag, /heading2 is a h2 tag)

I guess the idea is from Notion, which supports various types of content.
On the other hand, Markdown itself is just a simple plain-text format.
To insert a heading, you just need to type ‘#’ instead of ‘/’, which is clear and easy.

Thanks anyway for letting me know your thoughts!
