 * Hey
 * It would be great if you could add a button preview inside the page/post/etc 
   content creation area. Then a click the pencil icon OR click the link icon in
   the TinyMCE bar to add the link. It would make MaxButtons a lot easier to use.
 * Btw
    I run the web site: [http://easywebdesigntutorials.com/](http://easywebdesigntutorials.com/)
   and am thinking of creating a tutorial article on your plugin.

 * Hi,
 * Cool, thanks for the feedback! It’s an interesting thought, but I think usually
   with shortcodes a preview is not possible in the standard ‘preview’ window.
 * You can already easily add buttons with the ‘add button’ button on the posts 
   section. We are also looking into integrating the plugin with visual tools, like
   leading pagebuilders and the like.
 * I’m not quite sure what you mean with ‘pencil’ though, so if you care to eleborate
   a bit more on that, maybe we can work something out.
 * Tutorials of course are always very welcome! Be sure to email us at support [
   at] maxfoundry.com when you do.

 * Hey Bas
 * More and more plugins are starting to add a preview of what the content really
   looks like. For instance Caldera Forms current version does not add a preview
   but the next version under development adds a preview [https://github.com/Desertsnowman/Caldera-Forms/tree/current-dev](https://github.com/Desertsnowman/Caldera-Forms/tree/current-dev)
 * This means for the specific plugin one clicks to insert a form in the current
   version a shortcode is added. In the development version a image preview of what
   the form looks like is seen. Move the cursor over the image preview and an pencil
   icon alongside the x (for deleting it – the standard move the cursor over image
   in the content area) is seen.
 * Btw Maps Builder also has a preview and a lot more features: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-builder/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-builder/)
 * Have a great day!

 * I’ll take a look at those and how they do it. Thanks for pointing us to this.
