Shortcut-accessible search please! Perfect otherwise. – 1Writer - Markdown Text Editor Review

1Writer is by far the most all-around flexible and pleasant app I've found for long-form writing. It beats out Editorial, Byword, Ulysses, and iA Writer because it alone has all of the following: 1. A minimal, attractive, and customizable design 2. The ability to *only* view the document text 3. Dropbox integration *and* the ability to store *multiple* folders as shortcuts without having to navigate my entire Dropbox directory It does have other features I haven't so far found a use for, including extension capabilites that may or may not rival Editorial's depending on your needs. But the balance of functionality and minimalism is what really sets 1Writer apart. The competing apps either haven't been updated recently (Editorial's split-view update has evidently been delayed till the second coming of Elijah) or are arbitrarily locked down from certain things because of high-concept development directives (oh yes, iA Writer team, heaven forbid I suffer a distraction of 30 seconds to choose a non-fixed-width font). Editorial and Ulysses each have tools I continue to use, but neither is as well-suited for my needs. The lack of a command-f keyboard "find" function is the only feature I really miss. You can get a search function from the action directory (which I'm sure I'd use more often if I didn't already have Editorial's), but a built-in search would be more convenient. But that's not a big enough complaint for me to conscionably remove a star.
