# Feature Request: Post Editor Mods

 * I’m 65 and have been working with computers since I was 18; back when they ran
   on vacuum tubes, “valves” for you Euros and IBM punch cards. I’ve been using 
   WP for almost six years now.
 * If there is a shortcoming to WP, in my OPINION, it is the post editor. I run 
   a site that is essentially a news portal which requires me to do all of the editing.
 * I upgraded to WP 3.4.1 yesterday which eliminated the quicktags/buttons I had
   set up. I couldn’t decipher the new quicktags.js file to manually modify it to
   my liking. Instead I found a plugin that restored SOME of my previous functionality.
 * At 65 my eyesight is deteriorating. I had to find/write a plugin to allow me 
   to change the font size of the editor to something I could actually see without
   expanding the browsers font size.
 * The QT buttons save me hours each day in editing time.
 * I was wondering if it was possible to address the following in the form a “feature
   request”:
 * 1. An easy to use font size option for the post editor.
    2. An easy to use background
   color changer for the post editor. 3. An easy to use post editor quicktag-button
   modifier, at least for the HTML editor.
 * Thanks for your consideration.
 * OOV

 * You can change the font size & background color using CSS delivered by a simple
   plugin. I’ve hacked a simple plugin that allows me to customise the quicktags
   if you want a copy.

 * esmi, Thank you for your kind offer. Yes, I would be interested. I do hope that
   the development team will consider implementing those options as a feature in
   the future.
 * Thanks,
