new editing - how to turn OFF

[John Reynen]

How can I turn off this new editor?  It just adds needless white space, the default spacing in the card descriptions is terrible, how can I revert back?

Hi @John Reynen ,

On August 15th Trello has disabled legacy markdown editor in favour of new WYSIWYG editor and at the moment you cannot reverse this change.

I made a browser extension that brings markdown editor back though. You can check it out and let me know what you think.

Install for Chrome, Edge, Opera or Brave here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/better-trello/dnhdnenpngcecekbhklemaidbdpibiae

Install for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/better-trello/

Great extension!
I can see it has more than one feature.
Perhaps you could consider including the following one into it: https://github.com/SosthenG/trello-shortcut-killer ?

@Seweryn KalembaYour Firefox plugin turns off the new editor for card descriptions. But it doesn't do it for comments. Any chance it could do the same to comments?

Thank you so much for this extension! It saved me from the horrendous new  WYSIWYG Editor.

Trello WYSIWYG Editor is made by people who don't know what good UX is and how important it is to not screw up notes of users who've been using your product for years. Their decision to force everyone to use it despite overwhelmingly negative feedback from the community shows Atlassian's dedication to making their users lives harder.

And all that is probably because some manager at Trello bet his career on this feature, so now he has to force everyone to use it in order for it to not look like a waste of time and resources.

@Konrad C. Thanks! I will consider including this feature into next release later this month. 

Turning off the WYSIWYG editor for comments is a little bit tricky one, but I will try to make it work soon.
