Description Patrick ALLAERT 2006-08-31 17:29:59 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)

Editing text in an HTML form textarea is sometimes painful... Wrapping lines on/off is a feature I miss a lot. Another feature that should be usefull is to load (open) or save the content of the textarea... Syntax highlightning sounds good too... but ... wait a minute, don't we already have that in a text editor ? Yes !

Why not embedding kwrite into konqueror (khtml?) when editing textarea's using kpart technology ? It should be awesome to have:

* syntax highlighting (wiki editing even more easy)
* block mode selection
* word completion
* search/replace (excellent when editing a wikipedia article with always the same typo)
* line numbers
* load/save the content
* ... and many more !

And why not having a wysiwyg HTML editor (Quanta kpart ?) when editing HTML in a textarea element ?

Comment 2 Patrick ALLAERT 2007-01-13 23:15:53 UTC
Bug #37146 (open in an external editor) is not what I propose here. I consider that both solutions should be possible but as explained in comment 13 of #37146, the usage of one or the other solution depends on the context. This is why I would like this bug being unmarked as a duplicate.

For example, spell checking the content of a textarea field is *integrated* with konqueror and I don't have to "open it" with an external viewer/editor/...
