| Summary | 1562: Replace EditArea with Ace Editor | ||||
| Description | EditArea has not been maintained for a long time, and our implementation is manually patched with numerous unofficial fixes, and still getting buggier with each new IE version. Meanwhile Mozilla's efforts have galvanised into Ace Editor, and there's a lot of industry support. Ace Editor is an excellent, vastly superior solution, so we should go forward with that. | ||||

Ace and CodeMirror are the clear leaders in editors now. http://ace.c9.io/ http://codemirror.net/ As Ace has massive backing behind it, and a long history that has clearly stabilised against an impressive and active Open Source project, this is what I think we should go with. |

Okay, let me know when it's time to move forward on this one |
|
|
Ideally I'd like to do it alongside 1753. When I originally created this issue, the landscape was still a mess -- but Ace has really taken off now. |

|
Finally, this one is implemented. It is on github in the feature__code_editing_update branch, which will be merged in for v11, which will be a relatively short development cycle. Thank you for the sponsorship Rishi, and sorry for the huge lead time. We're getting there though! |
