Latest issues
- (2023-06-06, v:0.5.2) Aaron Sherber: Can't resize text area
This extension removes the resize handle that Chrome provides for text areas. It would be nice if that could be maintained. - (2023-05-25, v:0.5.2) Aaron Sherber: Support @ and #
It would be nice if this editor supported the functionality for @ (popup list of users) and # (popup list of issues/PRs). - (2022-05-26, v:0.5.0) Vítězslav Ackermann Ferko: Spell check doesn't work
Spell check doesn't work within the editor. Can you enable support for spellcheck OR add a way (a button?) to quickly disable/enable the render to allow browser to perform spellchecking? - (2021-06-12, v:0.5.0) Manoj Vekaria: Focus
There's an issue where the github editor doesn't auto-focus itself like the native textarea (functionality without extension). Would be awesome if that was fixed. Github shows the focus ring but monaco isn't focused so I frequently end up typing but no keystrokes appear.
