jupyterlab_edit_markdown_at_content_extension

Jump straight from a rendered markdown file into the editor at the exact line you were reading. No more opening the editor and scrolling to find the content again - this extension opens the editor positioned right where the content is.

Features

• Show Markdown Editor - right-click rendered content and pick "Show Markdown Editor"; the editor opens split-right with the cursor on the line that produced the block you clicked. This extends JupyterLab core's own command, which opens at line 0. Mapping is block-level: clicking inside a list or a table lands on the first line of that list or table, not on the individual item or row
• Reveal in Markdown Preview - right-click in the editor and pick "Reveal in Markdown Preview" to scroll the rendered preview to the block at the cursor
• Synced scrolling - once the editor is opened from the preview, the two panes track each other: the pane you are scrolling drives, the other follows to the matching location. Toggle with the trackEditor setting (on by default) under Settings → Edit Markdown at Content

Usage

• In a rendered Markdown Preview, right-click the content you are reading and choose Show Markdown Editor. The editor opens to the right with the cursor on that line, scrolled to the top
• In the editor, right-click and choose Reveal in Markdown Preview to scroll the preview to the block at the cursor
• With both panes open, scrolling the focused pane scrolls the other to the matching location

Settings

• trackEditor (default true) - keep the editor and preview scrolled together once opened from the preview. Turn it off under Settings → Settings Editor → Edit Markdown at Content

Requirements

• JupyterLab >= 4.0.0
