Forum:Edittools suggestion

the Mediawiki:edittools function is a great time saver. I love it.

but it can be a bit clunky for certain uses. for example, I have put the greek letters in the tools but to spell a word one letter at a time is not very convenient. after you type each letter the edittools closes and you have to reopen it.

maybe in addition to the "charinsert" tag one could have a "multicharinsert" tag that would allow you to type multiple letters before closing the edittools.

Actually before the coming of the new editor the edittools was always visible, so there wasn't such a problem. It could be also solved by leaving the pop up opened or move it in a hidden div, like the right column.

 * Yes another 'improvement' that was a back step when "Oasis" came out !! It disappearing after every use is very annoying. The idea of sticking it in the right rail sounds like a good idea - I wounder is is possible to add as a drop down box within the rail set up so its only there in edit mode ? (one for the JS experts to figure out).
