Rich text editor (wysiwyg) in comments/activity on Trello cards

Question

Ahoy all,

Super stoked to see a 'proper' editor added to the Description section of trello cards. Is there any chance we could get some sort of similar support in the comments themselves, further down in the Activity stream?

Whether a toolbar-style or a floating version, whatever might be possible, would be super welcome.

It's honestly a pain for regular humans to remember the various markdown rules.

I appreciate this topic already exists here, but requests for updates there have gone unanswered for a few years now.

Cheers!

@Dimitri Nachtigal: I can understand your predicament here; if you're worried about the editor format, For now, you can disable the new editor: https://trello.com/my/labs

Open that link and untick the "WYSIWYG Editing" feature to see if that helps.

@Vishaal Sand is there also a way to deactivate the WYSIWYG editor in Comments? I have a special Use Case wher I do not want it to be there 😅:

I want to write a checklist and in the List I want to link some attachments. Before I could simply click on Attachment/Comment --> that would add the code in the comments ---> CMD+X and Paste into the checklist made my Checklists awesome with short Attachments names that were URLs
