So currently, if I pull up a plain markdown document in the Files App and open it, my iPad opens it in Bear. How did Bear become my default editor for markdown in iPad OS. I would prefer to edit markdown in either iA Writer or Drafts. Interestingly if I delete Bear (which I did on another device), the markdown document opens in Ulysses. I would prefer not to use an app that has a library interface (I don’t use Drafts for note storage, so not worried about clutter there).
That’s a good idea. I’ll let you know how it turns out. I had always heard of the discussion about modifying default apps. But I hadn’t thought about markdown. Particularly since I just imagine they would open in notes app or something.
So I deleted iA Writer, but I forgot when I went to re-download it, what my purpose was and so I downloaded another markdown editor to try - because I can’t help myself. Then I went to open a markdown document and it opened it in the *new markdown editor (Wordsmith). I thought I had discovered the mechanism - iOS using the most recent app to open markdown.
Nope. I was wrong. I deleted Wordsmith then reopened another markdown file, it opened in Bear. I thought it might revert to the “second” to last editor I recently installed (iA Writer). Nope. It opened in Bear again. So I deleted iA Writer again, in hopes of re-downloading and it would open into that app. But no, this time it opened in Ulysses. There is no rhyme or reason here. Driving me nuts.
