What I dream of is a higher level higher abstraction than a YAML editor because the problems I face are not only YAML syntax but that I don't know what should be where in a scheme file and why. So I'd like to have a Schema editor. I.e. some editor where I can edit a list of properties and can e.g. checkmark "required". And simply type a description into some text field. And the editor knows where to place the keywords -item -enum -oneOf -description etc. when doing a Save operation. Basically what I dream of is more like MarkDown where you write text, titles paragraphs etc. and that gets magically translated into valid HTML. Or even better analogy: OpenOffice where you just write and format your text and one does not have to edit PostScript printer commands. But it is likely to stay a dream. BR and thanks, Nikolaus
