Discourse text editor magic (placeholder for later filing)
-
Continuing the discussion from 1 hour to test intern's mettle:
Hey, guys, I figured out a new discourse command....
Type some text, and hit ctrl+h in the textbox.
Done that? Good.
Now highlight some text and hit ctrl+h
Yeah.

Heading
some text

Don't try it multiple times.

You fucking tell me.

That's a really weird
echo

Ok. I seriously have no B*****ming clue what
Dicsores is doing with Ctrl+Hthe DiscoDev was smoking when he wrote the code for this, but it must have been potent.

Uh. If there is a selection, it cycles between level 2 header, level 1 header and normal text. If there isn't, it adds a header. The bug here's when you hit Ctrl-H midline and it just dumps a ## Heading ## in place without new-lining first.
This is a bug in the underlying m******n editor, not Discourse itself; try Ctrl-H in Stack Overflow and it behaves exactly the same.
Am I missing something?

it is annoying as all shit, since CTRL+H maps to find&replace in a lot of the editors I use, so I commonly start to do a CTRL+H to replace, say some variable name in code I am anonymizing to post, and end up with some variation of ## Heading ##
Heading
and then find that what it really did was kill my undo buffer
and fuck my post up.

Got to love how it goes to the level 2 header
Then the level 1 header
And how it screws with the writing of a post by putting the H1 markdown on a newline, so you carry on typing, only to find your H1 is not where you put it.

Does quoting screw up the headers?
Of course it does...

I imagine someone decided the level 1 header was a bit overwhelming and they would save us from ourselves.
