Description

It is very inconvenient that when working in a visual editor with any template, you always have to interrupt, close it, to add special characters or a link to a source in any fields, that is, put them in some random place in the article and then cut and add to the template. So many unnecessary clicks.. It would be very useful if it were possible to have this toolbar with special characters, sources, links to other articles, text style on the screen right in the mode of working with a template, this would really help save a lot of time
