A couple things I noted while playing with the demo at http://trix-editor.org/ * Pressing the key doesn't insert a tab as I would expect. I'm using Firefox latest on Win8 * The * character doesn't turn into a bulleted list item as I would expect. This is probably more of a nice to have for people use to that behavior in MS Word.

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
> in your earlier comment you wrote that it's "a shame" that Trix is written in Coffee, without any rationale. Where did I say that? I didn't say that at all. I'm on my threads page writing this reply to you and a search for shame only brings up your comment so whoever you're quoting isn't me.
Looks like you're right. Sorry. I must have confused you with some other commenter I read on HN today, it's a mistake on my part. Having admitted this much, I'm still waiting for your explanation why you wouldn't "consider projects written in CoffeeScript JavaScript projects". I'd still downvote you for stating such a strong opinion without providing any rationale.

#113Great timing, we were just looking for a new editor for our project. Since there are so many choices, here's a list of everything mentioned in this post. Trix - https://github.com/basecamp/trix - demo here: http://trix-editor.org/ by basecamp and used in v3, handles files/images well Squire - https://github.com/neilj/Squire - used in FastMail webmail, better for text than images ProseMirror - http://prosemirror.net/…

#118Looks decent. The approach taken is the right one: we do something very similar with the Squire rich text editor ( https://github.com/neilj/Squire ) which I wrote for FastMail's webmail. Basically the browser can't be trusted to do any formatting itself, which is a slightly depressing state of affairs, especially as there has been zero improvements in this area for the last 5 years. I guess it's not shiny enough for…

#119This is cool, one issue thou is that on iOS the select content menu gets in the way. Not Trix fault but iOS makes these WYSIWYG editors a no go.
