Working with plain text

I want to create an editor that can insert values from a dropdown for use with a "Plain Text" template. In other words I want to work in Source mode, but have the dropdowns working, so I can use the custom dropdowns that I have created for HTML view and SOURCE code view.

Is this possible?

RE: Working with plain text

If you take a look at the fck_config.js file you will see that the "Source" toolbar items are defined as a toolbar set.

You should modify the "Source" toolbar set adding your custom command.

In your custom command handler function you should check what is the actual state (Editing/Source) and execute your custom command over the editor, or over the textarea.

RE: Working with plain text

I did try this but my custom dropdown would only insert into the editing area rather than the source area.

Since which I built my own, but im sure it would still be good for others
