I think what I'm hearing in this conversation about the shape of a new contentEditable is really that a simple "minimal" is not going to work. Instead, having something like a delimited list will satisfy more people. See the bug on GitHub [1] for more details. https://github.com/w3c/editing-exp

I agree that we can divide this work, but so far I think we should do "2" first. Being able to remove browser functionality with a simple API is going to be far quicker to implement (in browsers) and provides immediate benefit. Solving Intentions will be a longer process, but is also important t

Absolutely. if this division means we can get into a saner place faster (and with a higher likelihood that it will actually happen) then I am all for it. Of course the long-term future of the web should be taken into consideration as well, and as I understand it, this could be part of the second p

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I believe that after long discussions we left the question "what should contenteditable=minimal be?" unanswered. First the intention events lists should be created, so we can see what needs to be handled. And this is what Ben Peters is working on. Still we

Pretty good docs, Ben. I have comments mostly about Issue 2 (http://w3c.github.io/editing-explainer/#h_issue_2). As long as actions are well documented, browsers can provide defaults that will fit 90% of the *good quality* content creation requirements out there. Additionally just selecti

These both look quite good! On Example 3 on the commands explainer, I was wondering if it is the idea that custom actions only can be triggered by specific key presses, whereas for standard events are triggered by "intentions". So say that we listen for CTRL+C to trigger our custom intention "chec

There is now an Editing Explainer [1] and a User Intentions Explainer [2], which should help scope the problems and help us drive forward on both areas. I haven't done much to fine tune them yet, but please let me know if you have feedback on this split from the initial Commands Explainer docume

[Cross-posting the comments below per Janina's thoughtful request.] I concur with Janina's insightful remark [at the Indie-UI teleconference on Thursday] that the "explainer" could evolve into a (potentially cross-group) requirements document. This raises several issues. 1. Harmonization of termi
