A small request and a suggestion.

[usonian]

I very often hit the edit button. Can it be promoted from a sub-menu to a big old button I can hit with one click?

Why do I edit a lot?

Partly because I make typo's but also
Because that's how I copy text and image links for new posts.

And especially on the small screen, iOS doesn't let me right click or control click, nor even press and hold to "copy image URL", so I have to edit a post to get an image URL.

Oh, the perils of a small screen.


ALSO OF INTEREST: I use GhostText browser extension to mirror my typing in a text editor, which NEVER LOSES the typing. What a relief this is when the network freezes, when I mistakenly hit the back button , switch tabs (this sometimes loses my typing) or some other goof.

Works on desktop and laptop operating systems, ( Linux. Mac, Windows) but not mobile (ios/android)

I have gotten it to work with Firefox, Safari and Opera (which uses the chrome engine) on MacOS, with SublimeText editor.

But its not a no brainer, since it requires extensions on the browser and your editor of choice.

Helps to be an advanced user.

Only nuisance is that previewing a post disconnects the editor and you have to click the GhostText icon to restart the process, but better too many versions (text editor tabs) than too few.
