Sometimes I'll make a large number of posts in the wrong mode (IC or OOC), and some of my old roleplays I didn't track that too much. Now reading mode is a thing and editing all those posts will be quite a chore.
I'd like to have a quick way to switch ic/ooc mode for a post. If we get in-place editing (I.e. no navigation to another page) it should be part of that. Alternately a toggle button per post would be nice.

Atypically many fall beneath the whole conundrum of forgetting to switch between IC/OOC when making their posts, but it's usually redeemable by the fact of the site's implemented use of either an * asterisk that toggles the IC indicator or a ( parenthesis that toggles the OOC one. I can understand (and I do feel you) when you say that it can happen that you'll switch between the wrong mode, but it's usually pretty hard to make emotive posts using asterisks into channels without it turning IC - it reverts to IC even if you change back to OOC and then post some - but I do know that some people make the mistake of persistently posting IC whilst they're obviously talking out of character.
Whilst the latter is more common than the former, I do support the idea of a keybind being able to toggle between IC and OOC but I'm not sure it'd be all that necessary. I do hope that shortly soon a in-place ability to edit so we don't have to navigate to another page is shortly on it's way, but I can understand (and I do totally support) the idea of maybe the ability to toggle / keybind the IC/OOC switch to a key on the keyboard for quicker, easier use, but it doesn't sound all too different from using a mouse to change between the switches manually.
Got something to say?
