[Maria-docs] Request: "Save and continue editing" button in KB
Hello, I think the KB article editor needs a "Save and continue editing" button, like it is done in WordPress. The reasons are: 1. A browser may loose text in edit boxes, so one is better is to save often. 2. Preview pane is below the text, so one cannot look at both; I end up having two side-by-side browser windows, one for viewing the original/changed article, and the other one for editing. For both reasons #1 and #2, when I press "save", most of the time I have to immediately press "Edit" to get back to editing (and then, in most cases, find the part of the text that I was editing before pressing "save"). Having "Save and continue editing" would eliminate the need to go back-and-forth and simplify editing for most users, I think.

I agree. An auto-save feature would be great, too. (some cms have it) Federico --- Lun 26/12/11, Sergei Petrunia <psergey@askmonty.org> ha scritto:

Would it help if there was an option to preview in a second window as well?

So you would like the cursor to jump back to where it was before when you hit save and continue.

Yes, this is a good idea and I will implement it. Best Regards, -- Bryan Alsdorf, Lead Web Developer Monty Program AB. http://montyprogram.com
