Let's also give some love to TextMate, one of the best Mac editors around (tho it costs money). They have a Markdown bundle that does lots of neat things and, as dictated by the name, it works exclusively with plain text files. Spencer On Feb 2, 2012, at 1:29 AM, Lasar Liepins wrote: Hi,

I love BBEdit and Textmate as much as the next person, but those aren't answers to the poster's question. MMD Composer is close to what the poster is asking about, but, Fletcher, you have to type in the `txt` extension over the proffered `md` at the save prompt. Have you considered making that

Yes, you have a point about the efficiency of just typing .txt vs option a. It would be nice to one day have option b just to prevent an accidental save with the wrong file type (leading to inaccessibility via mobile). Thanks for adding it to your long list of potential future features! Thanks

Not sure I follow - Composer saves files in plain text, and you can use whatever file extension you like. And you don't have to use the default theme with solarized colors if you want a less colorful editor window. What does it not do in this regard that you are looking for? Fletcher --
