Improvement suggestions for the Online Editor

I received some feedback regarding the Online Editor from one of the freelancers I work with and wanted to share it since this translator found the Online Editor quite cumbersome to work with.

- It would be helpful to have the default text colour in the editor be darker or have more options to increase text contrast. The Adapt Colors option doesn't seem to do much and not everyone likes working in Dark mode.

- There's a delay between typing and seeing the text appear on the screen, which generates misprints and slows down translation speed. Would it be possible to reduce this lag?

- When you use Ctrl + Del to delete the last word in a sentence before a full stop, before a comma or before tags, this command deletes not only the next word (right of the cursor) but also the full stop or the comma and any tags for the entire sentence. This means that if you want to delete a word before a full stop or a comma you have to delete it letter by letter. Could this behaviour be changed?

  • Hi,

    we are not aware of any contrast issues - adapt colors is actually trying to increase color for text where the document defines color which would be badly visible in browser

    lags - that is most likely caused by the performance of your computer, I'm not aware of any other complains in this area

    ctrl+del - indeed this is small issue, I logged it to be addressed in one of future releases
