I just installed codemirror for the first time, and it seems quite outstanding for editing anything with code.  But I'm not that interested in using it for ordinary editing because the fonts are kinda large and I don't need monospacing when I'm just writing plain text.  So there are a couple things that would be helpful that weren't obvious to me --

* can I get a button on the toolbar that would toggle whether I'm using CodeMirror or the vanilla editor?

* is there a place to change the font-size of the CodeMirror editor text?

Thanks!

Ed,

A very simple question on font size, have you use a middle ctrl-Mouse roller, or ctrl + ctrl - ?

Zooming in and out often has a greater influence than any permanent setting.

Thanks Tony,

That's true, I can always do that.  Also I found that by changing the "font-family" from the default monospace to another monospace that happened to exist on my system (Inconsolata) I got a more reasonable size, just because that font happened to be a more moderate width for a given point size.

I am glade you found a better way, would you still like to 

get a button on the toolbar that would toggle whether I'm using CodeMirror or the vanilla editor?

Another way may be to look at other ways to edit a tiddler using templates etc..
