I have been using WikEd for years now. The wikitext is progressing well imho but I do miss a few things before switching: a more detailed/advanced toolbar, choosing the font and its size as well as a rapid access to the templates and a "show preview".

Here are a few suggestions

- Allow a "ctrl+click" on a template while editing to open its template page in an other tab

- a toggle between a "simple/basic" toolbar (single row) and an advanced toolbar (2 rows with direct access to search and replace, browse menu per section, expanded "style text" menu...)

- A simple way to increase font size and, if possible, the font itself (via user preferences? and if possible with dedicated CSS to avoid interactions with users' site-wide custom CSS preferences)

- Direct toolbar access to show preview (without having to go through "publish changes" and then "show preview")

I am not a coder. So I don't know if these suggestions are realistic or not. :-)

@JKlein (WMF), what do you think of this idea of having two separate toolbars (normal vs advanced modes)? You can see a screenshot from WikEd's super-complex toolbar at File:WikEd screenshot.png.
