This Issue has some overlap with Issue #2, but is broader in scope.
I think the way links are handled in Formiko has a lot of room for improvement. Specifically:
There's no back button.
It took me a while to notice that the right-click context menu in the preview pane has navigation options, and they seem to be always greyed out and inactive, even when I have just followed a link. I have tested this with local relative links and remote http:// links, in both two-pane and preview-only modes). The only way I can get the preview pane back to the document I started from is to close the Formiko window and open the document again.
There's no home button.
There should be a one-click way to make the preview pane immediately return to the document that's currently open in the edit pane without having to backtrack through a browsing history.
"Open link in new window" does nothing.
It doesn't open a new window or follow the link in the existing window.
There's no option to open links in external browser.
It would be very helpful to have http:// and https:// URLs passed to my x-www-browser so they open as new tabs in Firefox, instead of having to deal with them in my markdown editor's preview pane.
Handling of local links is inconsistent
Links formatted as [link text](file://file.md), [link text](file://./file.md) show up in blue like links, hovertext is the literal URL as-entered, clicking them does nothing. Links formatted as [link text](file:file.md) or [link text](file.md) work as expected, ie they show up in blue, hovertext shows the expanded full path to the file, and clicking opens the target file in the preview pane.
Relative links to local markdown or plain text files should open the target file for editing.
I agree with @david_libremone in Issue Using links to navigate between local files #2 that the ideal behaviour when I click on a local link such as ./filename.md is to save & close the current file and immediately open the target file in the same window, keeping the view mode (preview-only vs dual-pane) at its current setting.
