CodeMirror-MODx 1.1 Beta: Emmet, File Highlighting, and Better State Handling

This beta pushed the Evolution code editor further: Emmet support, better MODX highlighting, file manager integration, and more polished full-screen behavior.

Another CodeMirror-MODx release followed quickly after the earlier update, this time focusing on polishing the editor workflow even further. The most notable addition was early Emmet support alongside more practical quality-of-life fixes.

Highlights

  • Emmet support with experimental MODX tag handling
  • improved MODX syntax highlighting
  • better support inside file management screens
  • saved full-screen state and cleaner hotkey organization
