Description

I think there is a bug. Recent versions have visual editor instead of markdown. This anti feature lacks possibility to copy/paste formatted text and is slower to edit.

Vikunja Version

0.24

Not a bug. This was introduced in 0.22.0, well over a year ago.

You can use markdown and keyboard shortcuts to edit, and with a recent unstable build (for example on the demo) you can paste markdown and it will be automatically converted.

The problem with Markdown only is people who are not technical will complain. Making it WYSIWYG only will lead to technical people complain.

This has also been discussed at length in the forum: https://community.vikunja.io/t/markdown-as-first-class-citizen/2975/4

That's the issue, updated 0.21 -> 0.24 recently and was shocked. Markdown editor was so clean and elegant. WYSIWYG editor while nice for non technical people is a huge drawback when you aim for more productive editing (see Obsidian, Bookstack and countless other projects). Also it is easier to implement :)

What do you think of the markdown shortcuts?

Training wheels with speed limit and speed bumps at every intersection :)

Main issue - you can't copy/paste text to other editor (with formatting).

Don't get me wrong, WYSIWYG editor looks great, probably snappiest I have seen. Kudos for this. And I have to agree that non technical people do appreciate it. But there are quite a lot of people that are somewhat technical and they do appreciate flexibility and common syntax amongst other tools.

By the way, even GitHub comments have native markdown syntax.
