EDIT:
I got a proof of concept using Overtype as an editor here:
Hello tiddlers,
Today while browser around I stumbled upon:
Since it has zero dependencies and tiddlywiki has a decent amount of Markdown support via plugins I thought it might make a cool editor for markdown tiddlers.
I’m still relatively new to TiddlyWiki, I tried having a go at adding it as a plugin but I couldn’t get it working correctly.
Do you think this is feasible? Just let me know, thanks!

No needing these editor framework. If we want a WYSIWYG editor, we will need to build our own, like https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyWiki5/pull/8991 or old https://github.com/tiddly-gittly/slate-write
Because we need to support widget / macro / procedure / function that is not only available in Wikitext, but also in markdown inside tiddlywiki.
For my use case I’m not as concerned with the wikification, plus overtext is more of “fancy markdown syntax highlighting” since it doesn’t remove any of the ‘control characters’
I basically just want overtext as syntax highlighting when editing pure markdown tiddlers as an alternative to the existing code mirror plugins.
Just a quick note to say that you seem to have linked to a fork of the still-active project https://github.com/panphora/overtype. I haven’t dug in to see if there are significant reasons for the fork, but if not, it’s probably better to stick to the original.
Thanks again that was a mistake lol.
I’ve been mangling my links here.
Ok I got a WIP working that even works with the comptext plugin.
The comptext dropdown is wildly misplaced at the moment (type [[ or /) but other than that overtype seems to work pretty well as an MD editor for Streams.

Hadn’t seen that one yet, pretty neat.
Did you write the plugin?
Yes I did. It will work with any type that is supported by the hightlight.js plugin or the prism.js plugin
