Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out to Atlassian Community.
1 - Is it possible to modify the WYSIWYG buttons? Are they configurable?
It's not possible to configure the buttons that appear on the editor.

2 - Is it possible to turn off WYSIWYG mode?
Currently, the new issue view has only this option, if you want to use the old editor, you can disable it by going to your Profile picture > Personal settings > Disable Jira Labs (note that it will not be disabled to Jira Core and Next-Gen projects).

3 - Is there Markdown support for cloud-hosted users?
Currently, markdown is only available for the new issue view, it includes next-gen and business projects. If the Jira Labs is enabled, it will also work for classic projects.

4 - Can I modify the keyboard shortcuts?
This option is also not available.

For the settings that are not available, please feel free to raise a feature request on jira.atlassian.com adding more details about why this would be important for your environment.

Regards,
Angélica

Just an update here for 2.

This setting is now located in:

Profile picture > JIRA: Settings > find the "Labs" toggle.

Note also that (from what I've seen), this doesn't turn it off on next-gen projects. You're stuck with the WYSIWYG there and no obvious way to switch to the standard editor.

PLS, give me opportunity switch to SIMPLE MarkDown EVERYWHERE! Your WISYWIG does not work correctly! IT can't paste (and paste doesn't work at firefox) MD as normal text, 'Enter' button works randomly. It's really stupid idea to create yourself WISYWIG (and internet has TOO MAAAANY posts about "Why do not create yourself WISYWIG" and every weak junior (and very strong senior) MUST know it)

Try to use YouTrack when you wanna look "How do it correctly?"

You implement community discussions and `Like`s and then act against clear results.

The only way WYSIWYG can't be disabled is because it cannot be converted to plain markdown which means it's badly designed.

That's just wrong, Atlassian.

I too am finding the wysiwyg editor very difficult to use and prefer markdown. I am unable to create collapsible code fields which make reviewing stack traces very difficult. Please bring back the source button.
