Customer Request:

"In Live Preview, I love that you can click a section and it goes to the corresponding code. The other day, I needed to find where a word occurred on a page with a lot of text, but it only went to the section. So the ability to go to a specific word would be appreciated."

Proposed Feature:

Enhanced Live Preview navigation with word-level precision for text-heavy HTML

Benefits:

  • More precise navigation between preview and code
  • Ability to locate specific words or phrases in text-heavy HTML documents
  • Time-saving when working with content-rich pages
  • Improved editing workflow for HTML content creators

Implementation:

  • Extend the existing section-level navigation to work at word level
  • Add highlighting for the specific word in both preview and code views
  • Maintain compatibility with the current section navigation system
  • Consider keyboard shortcuts for toggling between section and word navigation modes

@atondapu, thank you for showing interest in contributing to Phoenix! This feature might be a bit complex since it involves some in-depth core changes. That said, we’d be happy to help and support you if you’d like to give it a try!

@atondapu, if you want to contribute to Phoenix, I recommend starting by building an extension. It will help you understand the codebase better. If the extension solves a common need, we can consider merging it into the core.
