>>[[Docs:WikkaEdit | WikkaEdit]] is a new editor toolbar designed by OlivierBorowski to replace WikiEdit ([[http://wackowiki.com/WikiEdit | official website]]). Indeed, WikiEdit is no more actively maintained (latest improvements are from 2004).

[[Docs:WikkaEdit | WikkaEdit]] comes in two flavours, a //simple version// featuring a more streamlined and user/friendly interface than WikiEdit and an //advanced version// with built-in action support. The simple version is included with the [[Docs:WhatsNew1164 | 1.1.6.4 release]], while a first proof-of-concept of the advanced version is available in [[WikkaUnstable | trunk]] and will be included with the [[http://wush.net/trac/wikka/milestone/1.1.7 | 1.1.7 release]].

===Demo server===
- **simple version** (Wikkawiki 1.1.6.4) --- http://demo.wikkawiki.org/SandBox/edit
- **with partial actions support** (Wikkawiki Trunk) --- http://www.boro.fr/demo_wikkaedit/2007-11-27-trunk/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage/edit


===Changes for the user===
- support for actions
- editor height follow window height
- additionnal buttons
- new search & replace window
- indent / un-ident now use Tab key instead of ctrl+I / ctrl+U => bad idea?
- shortcuts for heading (ctrl+1...5) have not been integrated => useful?
- shortcuts for bulleted/numbered item have not been integrated => useful?
- shortcuts for links item have not been integrated => useful?


===Shortcuts===
- #%ctrl#% + #%B#% : bold
- #%ctrl#% + #%I#% : italic
- #%ctrl#% + #%U#% : underline
- #%ctrl#% + #%shift#% + #%S#% : strike
- #%ctrl#% + #%F#% : open search & replace dialog
- #%ctrl#% + #%Z#% : undo
- #%tab#% : indent
- #%shift#% + #%tab#% : outdent
- #%escape#% : leave focus


===Known bugs===
**Common :**
- undo (ctrl+Z) sometimes select the whole textarea instead of the changed characters (already present in WikiEdit) : [[http://wush.net/trac/wikka/ticket/593 | Ticket #593]]

**Gecko browsers :**
//no specific bug//

**Konqueror :**
- shortcuts don't work (except "tab" key)
- click on the "list" button, hit 2 times backspace (to remove "- ") and press a key => browser crash!!!

**Opera :**
- the textarea is not scrolled automatically to follow selection
- shortcuts can't block default browser behaviour, so Ctrl+F display the browser "Find" window => workaround : I disabled shortcuts

**Safari :**
- Ctrl+F display the browser "Find" window


===Installation===
__Note:__ WikkaEdit is already the default editor for the [[http://wush.net/websvn/wikka/listing.php?repname=wikka&path=%2Fbranches%2F1.1.6.4%2F | WikkaWiki 1.1.6.4 branch]] and [[http://wush.net/websvn/wikka/listing.php?repname=wikka&path=%2Ftrunk%2F | WikkaWiki Trunk]]

===TODO===
- (tiny) table creation wizard
- "replace all" should stop after one turn
- autoindent should detect alphanumeric chars and display the next one : 1) 2)...


===Suggestions===
- drop down menu for different kinds of ordered lists (instead of 3 buttons)

- define actions where the users should select some text before clicking a button. For example: for the color action, the users may first select a word, and when s/he clicks the colored text button: the selected word will be inserted inside the text=" " parameter. Such actions may have a slightly different background-color: so the user knows that they act on selected text.

- an 'undo' button (to undo the last change) would be nice.
