My deeply felt congratulations and thanks to KevinH and DiapDealer for their absolutely brilliant work. I remember the feeling of desperation when UserNone gave up on Sigil. I also find it amazing how many professionel epub producers (DAISY among others) are promoting Sigil as THE goto tool. But of course there aren't so many others, Calibre's editor being the only alternative (or at least the only one besides Sigil that aren't ripping the bottom out of your purse).
That said, I have a couple of modest suggestions:
Headers (H1-H6) will always be a full line. So why not make the CTRL + 1 etc. insert <h1>-</h1> tags around the line, in which the cursor is placed, if (and only if) no text is selected?
Almost the same goes for bold, italics etc. - if no text is selected, the ctrl + b (e.g.) could surround the word where the cursor is placed.
(I have made something like it in most of my tekst/html-editors using macros or AutoHotKey, and you'll be amazed how many mouse moves and time it saves!)
Also, how about an autocorrect function with the ability to use personal and exchangeable word lists (like the one in Atlantis, but with regexes)?
And then one small gripe: When I regenerate a TOC, Sigil will preserve the header and the "<nav epub:type='toc' id='toc'>", but removes "role='doc-toc'". It is of course a small thing to re-insert (I always run ACE as one of the last things before publishing my books, and it will tell me if I forget).
Regards,
Kim
