(Feature request) format brush

[guyon168]

Describe feature

I am a regular user of Trilium Notes and I greatly appreciate the functionality it offers. I would like to confirm whether the current rich text editor used in Trilium is CKEditor 5. Additionally, I would like to suggest the inclusion of a "format brush" feature in future versions. This feature would allow users to copy text formatting from one section and apply it to another, which could significantly enhance the editing experience.

Is it possible to consider adding this feature in upcoming releases? Your feedback and any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued development and support!

Best regards,

@guyon168 , we are indeed using CKEditor 5.

Unfortunately, the "Format painter" feature is a premium feature: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/format-painter.html

We are currently only using the community edition. We are looking into adding premium features (but in TriliumNext), but we'd have to discuss with the CKEditor devs.

It would be a nice feature to have for sure.

Hi @eliandoran, I noticed that the official Format Painter implementation doesn’t include block styles and doesn’t support double-click for continuous application. Do we want to implement this ourselves?

I saw that this issue is assigned to you. I’m interested in contributing to this feature. If you haven’t started yet, would it be okay if I give it a try?

@SiriusXT , feel free to take it. :)

Do we want to implement this ourselves?

For now I would say to just use the original implementation. We can explore improving it later.
