Synchronized scrolling

[luis-j]

Hi!

I discovered ghostwriter recently, and I think it's fantastic! Thank you for this great software, I already recommended it to my colleagues and some of them are already using it.

I would like to comment the only thing I found inconvenient so far: when HTML preview is active, I can't seem to find the way to keep both panes synchronized, unless I edit and modify the text. But if I navigate the text with the cursor, or scroll either pane with its scroll bar, the two panes are not synchronized making it difficult to see where I am.

Is there a way to achieve this that I'm missing? If not, could this be a useful feature to consider for a future release?

Best,

luis

Even cooler: There is no need for scrolling the preview. There is the possibility to show only this much text in the preview as it's showing in the editor. I recall that markdownpad is doin this and I found it quite convenient. So there is one scrollbar for the editor and the preview.

Advantage:

• not the entire document has to be rendered at once but only part of it.
  • less CPU power and therefore
  • faster behaviour
  • less distraction because of
• More space left without the scrollbar of the preview
• WYSIWYG

Disadvantage:

• The text shown in the editor has to be rendered in the preview as soon as the scrollbar is touched or new letters are written

I just came here to request the same functionality... synchronized scrolling.

I'd been looking for a good Markdown editor forever before finding Ghostwriter. Ghostwriter rocks ! Best one I've found thus far.

+1 Looking forward to this feature.

No, there really is a problem.

An example: when I combined two paragraphs, by removing the space between them, the live display goes to the top of the document.

To bring it back in sync with the editor, I have to delete a character within a paragraph and retype it, or manually drag the scroll bar in the preview.

So, this is broken. Please fix it.

I have the same problem. Ghostwriter often gets lost and returns to the top of the document. Really frustrating.
