I'm adding a few small enhancements to the Markdown Monster Table Editor:
* Additional Shortcut Keys
* Easier Column Operations
* A new reminder notification for navigation
* More consistent Context Menu
* Table Editor and Preview match main Preview theme
Are you using the Document Outline in Markdown Monster? You can use it to quickly jump to headers in your document or create in-doc links to same headers or copy the hashtag to clipboard.
Added Id display to make it easier to see the generated Id.
Markdown Monster 4.5.5 is out.
This is a small maintenance release that improves recent enhancements in Diff viewing, AI Chat and Image interfaces, and improved document recovery features.

Learned something new about @MarkdownMonstr
When working with a MarkDown document,
in my case,
README.md,
I can use the keystrokes Alt-G followed by Ctrl-Enter to Commit & Push quickly to GitHub from MarkDown Monster.
Quite the time saver!
Posting mainly for my own reference,
but others may also be interested.

Updating Image Generation support in Markdown Monster today with support for new OpenAI Image API support and ability to use source images.
What I find intriguiging is that that API access often yields different - and IMHO better - quality images than in the ChatGPT public app. The API consistently seems to be more 'adventurous' in image imaginations compared to the ChatGPT app.

Markdown Monster made it quietly to 200k Chocolatey downloads.
Interesting tidbits: Seems like Choco usage has dropped off significantly with WinGet picking up the slack. Choco usage is down to 15%, WinGet almost 40%, Github at ~8% and the rest going to direct downloads.
Markdown Monster 4.5 is out!
It's been a while, since this is a fairly major update with a move to Monaco editor that brings a host of nice feature improvements to the editor.
Find out what's new in this release post.

We've released a preview build of the Markdown Monster Editor running on the Monaco Editor platform (same base engine used in VS Code).
If you're interested in checking it out for editor and diff viewer improvements you can download a pre-release build. markdownmonster.west-wind.co…
Any feedback is welcome. Overall the editor behavior has not changed, but there are some theming differences.
Some of the benefits of the updates
* Integrated Diff Viewer
* Document recovery
* Show current editor state changes
* Git File Comparisions
* Scrollbar change tracking
* Minimap support
* Improved inline Language Handling
* More editor inline languages are supported
* Improved Find and Find and Replace Dialog
There's also a much richer editor API available to allow more editor customizations. Some of these we have been plugging into, but there will be more we can do in the future.
Check it out.

Spent the last couple of days experimenting with replacing the JS editor in Markdown Monster with Monaco editor.
ACE has been great, but there are a few things built into Monaco that I needed including support for inline diff editing.

Windows SmartScreen has been acting up lately for Markdown Monster due to our frequent release cycle. If you run into the dreaded Blue Defender SmartScreen here's why and how to get around it.

Did you know that you can check links for validity in your Markdown document in Markdown Monster using the Link Checker sidebar?
Click on the green check icon in the side bar to quickly check all referenced and image links, and quickly navigate to any of them from the link list.
Did you know that you can change the default location of your Markdown Monster Configuration Folder to a shared location like Dropbox, Google Drive etc.
Allows for always synced content and backup, and for multiple setups to share a common configuration.

Getting editor and preview into sync is tricky as there are lotsa edge cases for content adjustment for top & bottom display, and scroll off.
It'll never be 100% but this update makes it significantly better than before thanks to this GitHub issue:

Took another shot at improving the preview syncing and preview positioning in Markdown Monster.
Preview position now is much closer to the editor line when editing and clicking in. Scrolling the editor now renders *near* the top of the preview.
See whatya think in 4.1.8.3+
