looks a bit strange,
have a look at brackets - maybe it will do the trick needed

The most important reason why jodit was selected is the presence of an
open source file manager
in the editor which could be integrated with third party systems (Elxis in our case). CKEditor 5 has
CKFinder
which
is commercial
and so it cannot be included into Elxis. So forget CKEditor. I search a lot, believe me. I searched again and again many many times and tested many editors. The only editor that could provide all the functionality we had in Elxis 4.x, was modern (not abandoned by its developers), and was open source was Jodit. I don't know if now there is someone else but by the time we developed Elxis 5.x Jodit was the best option. Also believe me once more: integrating the editor in the CMS is one of the hardest things. The editor is not easy to be changed. Except from the file manager Elxis
plugins
are also bind to the editor. I have developed 2 Jodit plugins for Elxis for these purposes. Elxis
multilingualism
is also bind to the editor. The editor is under the supervision of the Elxis
Access Control Lists
system and it is strengthen for security purposes. You cannot just replace the editor with someone else, it is not that simple.
Also I personally don't have the problems you have with the editor. For me the cursor is at the right position and I have no trash in HTML. OK, I mostly type in HTML, this is true, but I haven't noticed a problem. Maybe it is a language specific problem, maybe there is an improved version that fixes yours problems. I will check it. But the editor cannot change even if I want to.
Note: You don't make as a favor using Elxis. We work hard endless hours for its development without getting paid or getting anything else back. You use it if you like it and if it fits your needs. As I have said in the past, Elxis will continue been developed even if it has 0 downloads from elxis.org because it is used in many important private, or semi-private, projects and many companies have built their businesses on it. Elxis stability and security is our first priority.
