I have a simple feature request.
Can we have a new item in the editing toolbar referencing syntax-highlighting? It will display all available languages and simply add the right line at the cursor position.
I think it would be really helpful. Many threads don't use syntax highlighting, mainly in first-time messages, probably because the are not aware of it. Moreover, I myself sometimes forget spaces, or some characters in the syntax, failing to activate this wonderful feature.
EDIT 1 : Indeed, I'm not using only StackOverflow ;), I'm posting on dba, serverfault, and sometimes read superuser. Even when I'm posting on SO, I use categories (or read questions) tagged with non obivous mappable tags : jQuery, maven, ant, ... Moreover, when I talk about mysql, maven or anything else, I often mix languages (xml, text, conf, java). So, relying on auto recognization is not an option for me. Thats why I suggested an extra button. But maybe am I an edge user ?
