I'm sure this has been mentioned over and over again but you guys are overhauling the editor, right? It doesn't operate as one would expect, is super limited in terms of capabilities and tools, and seems to be super opinionated in strange ways like the fact that I can't copy some text from a list item or any element (h1, h2, h3, p tag, etc.) and paste it into a new element unformatted, it always carries over the original element's formatting and turns whatever I'm trying to make it into now into what it was before. For example, copying the text of an ordered list item and trying to paste it into a new paragraph element I added to the page turns that paragraph element into an ordered list or it just appends the text to the original ordered list as a new list item and deletes my paragraph element… Strange.
Also, not being able to put single-line spaces between list items without using *SHIFT + RETURN* feels dirty and I really don't like how there's a huge amount of space between a paragraph and an ordered list that isn't there between, say, a heading (h1, h2, h3) and an ordered list. Attached screenshot should show what I'm talking about.
I pray the editor sees some love and soon. 🙏 Thanks for listening, y'all.screenshot2021-02-18at21802am_2216.png
Hi @adrian.sinnott, thanks so much for the detailed feedback and candor! Yes, we've been upgrading the editor and it's a continued area of focus for improvements. I don't have specifics on the items you mentioned, but I'm passing this feedback along to right Product team now!
Thank you, Chris!!! Looking forward to seeing what you all have been working on when it gets released. :slightlysmilingface:
@chrisanderson, t'would also be great to be able to place images inline with the text (side-by-side, text flows around, etc.).
Agreed, thanks @adrian.sinnott, I passed that feedback along as well.
2nd-ing the images inline, that would be so sweet.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for submitting your feedback! I’m seeing three pieces of feedback in your post (generally we want one topic per post for easy tracking), so let me make sure I understand them correctly:

 

Re: pasting without formatting

You’d like to paste formatted content with all the formatting removed. What you’re experience with the formatting sticking is intended behavior. 🙂 However! There’s a way to paste the content without carrying over the formatting by using a keyboard shortcut (sometimes the browser has an option to right click and paste without formatting): Ctrl+S+V (Cmd+S+V if you’re on a Mac).

 

Re: spacing

The height of the line breaks between elements (paragraphs, lists, code blocks) is quite large. Additionally, there’s no way to create line breaks between lists (bulleted, numbered) without creating new lists. We’ve heard this feedback a lot internally and externally! I’m going to make that the main topic of this thread. :)

 

Re: inline images

There’s another feedback post for this -- please add your votes there if you have not yet! 

 

Thanks!

Sandy

 

Hi @Adrian Sinnott!

I'm Jackie, an Engineer on the new editor project here at Guru. I’m happy to share that in the new version of the editor that we’re in the midst of releasing, we’ve standardized the spacing between all of our elements. The spacing across your content should look more consistent now. As such I’ll mark this as ‘scheduled.’ Thanks for sharing your feedback, we’ll be back with an update once the release is complete!

Guru’s new Card editor, which includes the standardized spacing between element improvement Jackie described above, has now shipped to all Guru teams and users.

Thanks again to everyone who shared feedback and upvotes!
