***

This project is no longer maintained. I suggest you use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com). Don't let the `it's a code editor` scare you off. It's accessable and very powerful (and cross platform!). There are several quality Markdown extensions that support many features not found in Markdown Edit.

Markdown Edit is a Windows **desktop** Markdown editor with an emphasis

on content and keyboard shortcuts. There is minimal window chrome and

most functions are accessed through keyboard shortcuts. There is no main

menu, status bar, tabbed windows or other distractions.
