Edit page on selected line / cursor position

[Hartmut Leister]

I would like to start the Editor for a page and jump to a selected position.

As of now, I have to remember the position, scroll to the top, press "Edit", and scroll back down.

I would like to use the following (or similar) workflow:

• highlight/select a word/line
• wait for the context menu
  (see https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/comment-on-pages-and-blog-posts-139483.html)
• In the context menu there should be a new button "Edit on selection", which I would press
• The editor is opened, jumps to the selected text (optionally highlights it)

My Questions:

• How can I enable this or something similar?
• Might there be a plugin for this?

So, we are 15 months ahead and editing longer pages is still super-annoying.

When will switching to edit mode just stay on the page where I am?

Hi, 

First of all, welcome to the Atlassian Community. It is good to have you here! 

I have the same issue as the one you mentionned, but I did not find a very smooth workaround in Cloud.
In server, there is a Marketplace's app which seems to do the job : InPlace Editor for Confluence. In fact, a user can enable the "selection editing" feature while this app is installed in the Confluence instance, and then modify specific parts of the page.  

I hope this will help. :)

Have a nice day!
