Fair 'nuff

Alternatively you could add a bunch of FIXME strings in Sigil first and then search for and fix each in PageView all at once.

If I pasted FIXME's in the code the by the time I got to PageEdit I'd forget what the problem was :lol:
Thinking about it a bit more, even with Sigil 0.9.14, proselint errors would still throw me into CodeView rather than Book View, so I'd be flipping from CV to BV, back to CV... ad-infinitum. I think I'd rather run PageView alongside Sigil and keep them in synch manually - until someone can come up with an interprocess CodeView->PageView real-time synch button
One of the factors that makes me dislike editing content in CodeView is the limitation to monotype fonts (Consolas, Lucinda etc). That's fine for examining and editing 'code', but for me at least it's not fine for reading and editing 'content' - how many users have Preview set to a fixed width font.
Are there any technical reasons for this restriction. The calibre book editor has no such restriction - but it doesn't have a proselint plugin
Minor irritant I've been meaning to mention 'forever' - the 'Plugin' item in the menu has no accelerator key, Alt+P would seem to be available.

Two different installations of Sigil will inherently use the same settings. I'm not entirely certain that would be wise with a pre-0.9.15 version and 0.9.15+ version. But I could be wrong. It wouldn't hurt to try, though, as long as you make good backups of your preferences before-hand.

On thinking about it, sharing preferences wouldn't be critical or maybe not even desirable. But I'm going to try running Sigil and PageEdit and doing the synch manually. For reasons I can't comprehend I imagined proselint would interact with BV in Sigil 0.9.15. Whilst I haven't tried it, its London to a brick on it doesn't.
