Features include:

* Powerful search and replace (including Regular expressions)
* Wikicode syntax highlighting
* Fullscreen editing mode
* Edit preview and show changes on the same page without reloading
* MS-Word and web page import (including tables)
* 1-click fixing common mistakes

wikEd can simply be enabled in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|Preferences::Gadgets]] (on wiki installations where wikEd is not installed as a gadget, a small code snippet can be pasted to your [[Special:Mypage/common.js|''common.js'']] page or it can be run locally as a [[Greasemonkey]] user script). For detailed installation instructions see the [[User:Cacycle/wikEd#Installation|wikEd homepage]].

=== QuickWikiEditor ===

It is available at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickwikieditor_updated/ addons.mozilla.org].<!-- 2022-04-02 "Last updated 3 years ago" -->

=== Surfingkeys ===
[https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys Surfingkeys] is a Chrome and Firefox extension that brings [[Vim (text editor)|Vim]]-like keyboard shortcuts that can be customized using JavaScript. Among the list of features is a Vim editor powered by [[Ace (editor)|Ace]].

To enter the Vim editor, press {{key press|I}} and use a hint letter to pick an input box. Alternatively if a text box was selected via insert mode or mouse click, {{key press|Ctrl|i}} opens the editor. For <code>input</code> and <code>select</code> elements, {{key press|Enter}} saves the text. For <code>textarea</code> elements such as for editing a page, {{key press|Ctrl|Enter}} will save the text. In all cases, <code>:w</code> will also save the written text and {{key press|Esc}} or <code>:q</code> will leave the editor without saving changes.
