Compatibility

Known Limitations

• This module uses workarounds that may need updates if Foundry's ProseMirror implementation changes
• Performance with extremely large documents (10,000+ words) may vary
• Some known issues:
  • This module can be glitchy, I'll continue to work out the bugs now that the module is fully functional.
  • After typing in the Find form field press enter to commit the search, trying to click any button without first pressing enter will close the find/replace UI.
  • Sometimes you have to press the find/replace button a couple times before the UI pops up (actor biography for isntance).
  • A lot of this is due to how stubburn the ProseMirror UI is being handled by Foundry and this module's changes required some brute force.
