How do I get back from markdown-view-mode to editing source

[gomain]

Whiles in markdown-mode I enter M-x markdown-view-mode to view the file. Then I can't get back to editing the file. Returning to M-x markdown-mode has the file remaining read-only.

Expected Behavior

The file is editable, i.e. not read-only.

Actual Behavior

File is read-only. Alternatively, the docs address how to do this.

Steps to Reproduce

The above suffices.

Software Versions

• Markdown Mode: 2.4
• Emacs: GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.27, cairo version 1.16.0)
• OS: NixOs 19.09.2522.75f4ba05c63 (Loris)

Thanks for reporting the issue. markdown-view-mode and gfm-view-mode should toggle its state, however current implementations do not. I'll try to check whether they can implement like that later.

BTW you can toggle read-only-mode by C-x X-q.

I misunderstood. markdown-view-mode is major-mode, not minor-mode. major-mode cannot be toggled. So we need to disable markdown-view-mode by enabling another major-mode like markdown-mode.

Switching to markdown-view-mode sets the file read-only. Switching to markdown-mode should set the file read-write.

Currently I'm doing

M-x markdown-view-mode # switch to view mode
# viewed enough
M-x makrdown-mode # switch back
M-x read-only-mode # toggle read-only

Switching to markdown-view-mode sets the file read-only. Switching to markdown-mode should set the file read-write.

Yes. I'll consider about this.

How about #627 change ?

This is working for me. I think this issue should be closed.
