inline editor experiment

[mattheu]

Experimental... do not merge.

I've been looking into the plausability of inline editing.

1. Requires providing a completely custom view for the whole form, not just single fields.
   • This would probably be nice to have anyway.
2. Requires a core patch to allow you to set the content of an MCE view as a jQuery object. This allows all the events defined in the view to work. Get it here
3. NOT WORKING - saving. Not sure how to do this... using send_to_editor will refresh the MCE view and disrupt your editing experience.

Thoughts on 3.
You can probably work around and handle updating the content on save. I did get something working but it rendered the shortcode twice. This could also cause issues with multiple editors...

Very nice initiative. Inline editing would make this an amazing experience for content editors. 👍
