It gives you complete freedom to configure the editor to generate <p>, <div> or <br> when the user uses both the [Enter] and [Shift]+[Enter] keys. The new "EnterMode" and "ShiftEnterMode" settings can be use to control its behavior. It also guarantees that all browsers will generate the same output.
  • The new and powerful Keyboard Accelerator System is being introduced. You can now precisely control the commands to execute when some key combinations are activated by the user. It guarantees that all browsers will have the same behavior regarding the shortcuts.
    It also makes it possible to remove buttons from the toolbar and still invoke their features by using the keyboard instead.
    It also blocks all default "CTRL based shortcuts" imposed by the browsers, so if you don't want users to underline text, just remove the CTRL+U combination from the keystrokes table. Take a look at the FCKConfig.Keystrokes setting in the fckconfig.js file.
  • The new "ProtectedTags" configuration option is being introduced. It will accept a list of tags (separated by a pipe "|"), which will have no effect during editing, but will still be part of the document DOM. This can be used mainly for non HTML standard, custom tags.

  • Updated support for AFP. Thanks to Soenke Freitag.

2.3.3

New Features and Improvements:

  • The project has been relicensed under the terms of the GPL / LGPL / MPL licenses. This change will remove many licensing compatibility issues with other open source licenses, making the editor even more "open" than before.
  • Attention: The default directory in the distribution package is now named "fckeditor" (in lowercase) instead of "FCKeditor".  This change may impact installations on case sensitive OSs, like Linux.
  • Attention: The "Universal Keyboard" has been removed from the package. The license of those files was unclear so they can't be included alongside the rest of FCKeditor.
