+
+## Project Overview
+
+@design.estate/dees-catalog is a comprehensive web components library built with TypeScript and LitElement. It provides a large collection of UI components for building modern web applications with consistent design and behavior.
+
+## Build and Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Build the project
+pnpm run build
+# This runs: tsbuild tsfolders --allowimplicitany && tsbundle element --production --bundler esbuild
+
+# Run development watch mode
+pnpm run watch
+# This runs: tswatch element
+
+# Run tests (browser tests)
+pnpm test
+# This runs: tstest test/ --web --verbose --timeout 30 --logfile
+
+# Run a specific test file
+tsx test/test.wysiwyg-basic.browser.ts --verbose
+
+# Build documentation
+pnpm run buildDocs
+```
+
+### Testing Notes
+- Test files follow the pattern: `test.*.browser.ts`, `test.*.node.ts`, or `test.*.both.ts`
+- Browser tests run in a headless browser environment
+- Use `--logfile` option to store logs in `.nogit/testlogs/`
+- For debugging, create files in `.nogit/debug/` and run with `tsx`
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Component Structure
+The library is organized into several categories:
+
+1. **Core UI Components** (`dees-button`, `dees-badge`, `dees-icon`, etc.)
+   - Basic building blocks with consistent theming
+   - All support light/dark themes via `cssManager.bdTheme()`
+
+2. **Form Components** (`dees-form`, `dees-input-*`)
+   - Complete form system with validation
+   - Base class `DeesInputBase` provides common functionality
+   - Form data collection via `DeesForm` container
+
+3. **Layout Components** (`dees-appui-*`)
+   - Application shell components
+   - `DeesAppuiBase` orchestrates the entire layout
+   - Grid-based responsive design
+
+4. **Data Display** (`dees-table`, `dees-dataview-*`, `dees-statsgrid`)
+   - Complex data visualization components
+   - Interactive tables with sorting/filtering
+   - Chart components using ApexCharts
+
+5. **Overlays** (`dees-modal`, `dees-contextmenu`, `dees-toast`)
+   - Managed by central z-index registry
+   - Window layer system for proper stacking
+
+### Key Architectural Patterns
+
+#### Z-Index Management
+All overlay components use a centralized z-index registry system:
+- Definition in `ts_web/elements/00zindex.ts`
+- Dynamic z-index assignment via `ZIndexRegistry` class
+- Components get z-index from registry when showing
+- Ensures proper stacking order (dropdowns above modals, etc.)
+
+#### Theme System
+- All components support light/dark themes
+- Use `cssManager.bdTheme(lightValue, darkValue)` for theme-aware colors
+- Consistent color palette defined in `00colors.ts`
+
+#### Component Demo System
+- Each component has a static `demo` property
+- Demo functions in separate `.demo.ts` files
+- Showcase pages aggregate demos (e.g., `input-showcase.ts`)
+
+#### WYSIWYG Editor Architecture
+The WYSIWYG editor uses a sophisticated architecture with separated concerns:
+- **Main Component**: `dees-input-wysiwyg.ts` - Orchestrates the editor
+- **Handler Classes**:
+  - `WysiwygInputHandler` - Handles text input and block transformations
+  - `WysiwygKeyboardHandler` - Manages keyboard shortcuts and navigation
+  - `WysiwygDragDropHandler` - Manages block reordering
+  - `WysiwygModalManager` - Shows configuration modals
+  - `WysiwygBlockOperations` - Core block manipulation logic
+- **Global Menus**: 
+  - `DeesSlashMenu` and `DeesFormattingMenu` render globally to avoid focus issues
+  - Singleton pattern ensures single instance
+- **Programmatic Rendering**: Uses manual DOM manipulation to prevent focus loss
+
+### Component Communication
+- Custom events for parent-child communication
+- Form components emit standardized events (`change`, `blur`, etc.)
+- Complex components like `DeesAppuiBase` re-emit child events
+
+### Build System
+- TypeScript compilation with decorators support
+- Web component bundling with esbuild
+- Element exports in `ts_web/elements/index.ts`
+- Distribution builds in `dist_ts_web/`
+
+## Important Implementation Details
+
+### When Creating New Components
+1. Extend `DeesElement` from `@design.estate/dees-element`
+2. Use `@customElement('dees-componentname')` decorator
+3. Implement theme support with `cssManager.bdTheme()`
+4. Create a demo function in a separate `.demo.ts` file
+5. Export from `elements/index.ts`
+
+### Form Input Components
+1. Extend `DeesInputBase` for form inputs
+2. Implement `getValue()` and `setValue()` methods
+3. Use `changeSubject.next(this)` to emit changes
+4. Support `disabled` and `required` properties
+
+### Overlay Components
+1. Import z-index from `00zindex.ts`
+2. Get z-index from registry when showing: `zIndexRegistry.getNextZIndex()`
+3. Register/unregister with the registry
+4. Use `DeesWindowLayer` for backdrop if needed
+
+### Testing Components
+1. Create test files in `test/` directory
+2. Use `@git.zone/tstest` with tap-bundle
+3. Test in browser environment for web components
+4. Use proper async/await for component lifecycle
+
+## Common Patterns and Pitfalls
+
+### Focus Management
+- WYSIWYG editor uses programmatic rendering to prevent focus loss
+- Use `requestAnimationFrame` for timing-sensitive focus operations
+- Avoid reactive re-renders during user input
+
+### Event Handling
+- Prevent event bubbling in nested interactive components
+- Use `pointer-events: none/auto` for click-through behavior
+- Handle both mouse and keyboard events for accessibility
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Large components (editor, terminal) use lazy loading
+- Charts use debounced resize observers
+- Tables implement virtual scrolling for large datasets

+# Building Applications with dees-appui Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+The dees-appui system provides a comprehensive framework for building desktop-style web applications with a consistent layout, navigation, and view management system. This document outlines the architecture and best practices for building applications using these components.
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### Component Hierarchy
+
+```
+dees-appui-base
+├── dees-appui-appbar (top menu bar)
+├── dees-appui-mainmenu (left sidebar - primary navigation)
+├── dees-appui-mainselector (second sidebar - contextual navigation)
+├── dees-appui-maincontent (main content area)
+│   └── dees-appui-view (view container)
+│       └── dees-appui-tabs (tab navigation within views)
+└── dees-appui-activitylog (right sidebar - optional)
+```
+
+### View-Based Architecture
+
+The system is built around the concept of **Views** - self-contained modules that represent different sections of your application. Each view can have:
+
+- Its own tabs for sub-navigation
+- Menu items for the selector (contextual navigation)
+- Content areas with dynamic loading
+- State management
+- Event handling
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Application Shell Setup
+
+```typescript
+// app-shell.ts
+import { LitElement, html, css } from 'lit';
+import { customElement, property } from 'lit/decorators.js';
+import type { IAppView } from '@design.estate/dees-catalog';
+
+@customElement('my-app-shell')
+export class MyAppShell extends LitElement {
+  @property({ type: Array })
+  views: IAppView[] = [];
+
+  @property({ type: String })
+  activeViewId: string = '';
+
+  render() {
+    const activeView = this.views.find(v => v.id === this.activeViewId);
+    
+    return html`
+      <dees-appui-base
+        .appbarMenuItems=${this.getAppBarMenuItems()}
+        .appbarBreadcrumbs=${this.getBreadcrumbs()}
+        .appbarTheme=${'dark'}
+        .appbarUser=${{ name: 'User', status: 'online' }}
+        .mainmenuTabs=${this.getMainMenuTabs()}
+        .mainselectorOptions=${activeView?.menuItems || []}
+        @mainmenu-tab-select=${this.handleMainMenuSelect}
+        @mainselector-option-select=${this.handleSelectorSelect}
+      >
+        <dees-appui-view
+          slot="maincontent"
+          .viewConfig=${activeView}
+          @view-tab-select=${this.handleViewTabSelect}
+        ></dees-appui-view>
+      </dees-appui-base>
+    `;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: View Definition
+
+```typescript
+// views/dashboard-view.ts
+export const dashboardView: IAppView = {
+  id: 'dashboard',
+  name: 'Dashboard',
+  description: 'System overview and metrics',
+  iconName: 'home',
+  tabs: [
+    {
+      key: 'overview',
+      iconName: 'chart-line',
+      action: () => console.log('Overview selected'),
+      content: () => html`
+        <dashboard-overview></dashboard-overview>
+      `
+    },
+    {
+      key: 'metrics',
+      iconName: 'tachometer-alt',
+      action: () => console.log('Metrics selected'),
+      content: () => html`
+        <dashboard-metrics></dashboard-metrics>
+      `
+    },
+    {
+      key: 'alerts',
+      iconName: 'bell',
+      action: () => console.log('Alerts selected'),
+      content: () => html`
+        <dashboard-alerts></dashboard-alerts>
+      `
+    }
+  ],
+  menuItems: [
+    { key: 'Time Range', action: () => showTimeRangeSelector() },
+    { key: 'Refresh Rate', action: () => showRefreshSettings() },
+    { key: 'Export Data', action: () => exportDashboardData() }
+  ]
+};
+```
+
+### Phase 3: View Management System
+
+```typescript
+// services/view-manager.ts
+export class ViewManager {
+  private views: Map<string, IAppView> = new Map();
+  private activeView: IAppView | null = null;
+  private viewCache: Map<string, any> = new Map();
+
+  registerView(view: IAppView) {
+    this.views.set(view.id, view);
+  }
+
+  async activateView(viewId: string) {
+    const view = this.views.get(viewId);
+    if (!view) throw new Error(`View ${viewId} not found`);
+
+    // Deactivate current view
+    if (this.activeView) {
+      await this.deactivateView(this.activeView.id);
+    }
+
+    // Activate new view
+    this.activeView = view;
+    
+    // Update navigation
+    this.updateMainSelector(view.menuItems);
+    this.updateBreadcrumbs(view);
+    
+    // Load view data if needed
+    if (!this.viewCache.has(viewId)) {
+      await this.loadViewData(view);
+    }
+    
+    return view;
+  }
+
+  private async loadViewData(view: IAppView) {
+    // Implement lazy loading of view data
+    const viewData = await import(`./views/${view.id}/data.js`);
+    this.viewCache.set(view.id, viewData);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Navigation Integration
+
+```typescript
+// navigation/app-navigation.ts
+export class AppNavigation {
+  constructor(
+    private viewManager: ViewManager,
+    private appShell: MyAppShell
+  ) {}
+
+  setupMainMenu(): ITab[] {
+    return [
+      {
+        key: 'dashboard',
+        iconName: 'home',
+        action: () => this.navigateToView('dashboard')
+      },
+      {
+        key: 'projects',
+        iconName: 'folder',
+        action: () => this.navigateToView('projects')
+      },
+      {
+        key: 'analytics',
+        iconName: 'chart-bar',
+        action: () => this.navigateToView('analytics')
+      },
+      {
+        key: 'settings',
+        iconName: 'cog',
+        action: () => this.navigateToView('settings')
+      }
+    ];
+  }
+
+  async navigateToView(viewId: string) {
+    const view = await this.viewManager.activateView(viewId);
+    this.appShell.activeViewId = viewId;
+    
+    // Update URL
+    window.history.pushState(
+      { viewId }, 
+      view.name, 
+      `/${viewId}`
+    );
+  }
+
+  handleBrowserNavigation() {
+    window.addEventListener('popstate', (event) => {
+      if (event.state?.viewId) {
+        this.navigateToView(event.state.viewId);
+      }
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Dynamic View Loading
+
+```typescript
+// views/view-loader.ts
+export class ViewLoader {
+  private loadedViews: Set<string> = new Set();
+
+  async loadView(viewId: string): Promise<IAppView> {
+    if (this.loadedViews.has(viewId)) {
+      return this.getViewConfig(viewId);
+    }
+
+    // Dynamic import
+    const viewModule = await import(`./views/${viewId}/index.js`);
+    const viewConfig = viewModule.default as IAppView;
+    
+    // Register custom elements if needed
+    if (viewModule.registerElements) {
+      await viewModule.registerElements();
+    }
+    
+    this.loadedViews.add(viewId);
+    return viewConfig;
+  }
+
+  async preloadViews(viewIds: string[]) {
+    const promises = viewIds.map(id => this.loadView(id));
+    await Promise.all(promises);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. View Organization
+
+```
+src/
+├── views/
+│   ├── dashboard/
+│   │   ├── index.ts          # View configuration
+│   │   ├── data.ts           # Data fetching/management

+├── services/
+│   ├── view-manager.ts
+│   ├── navigation.ts
+│   └── state-manager.ts
+└── app-shell.ts
+```
+
+### 2. State Management
+
+```typescript
+// services/state-manager.ts
+export class StateManager {
+  private viewStates: Map<string, any> = new Map();
+
+  saveViewState(viewId: string, state: any) {
+    this.viewStates.set(viewId, {
+      ...this.getViewState(viewId),
+      ...state,
+      lastUpdated: Date.now()
+    });
+  }
+
+  getViewState(viewId: string): any {
+    return this.viewStates.get(viewId) || {};
+  }
+
+  // Persist to localStorage
+  persistState() {
+    const serialized = JSON.stringify(
+      Array.from(this.viewStates.entries())
+    );
+    localStorage.setItem('app-state', serialized);
+  }
+
+  restoreState() {
+    const saved = localStorage.getItem('app-state');
+    if (saved) {
+      const entries = JSON.parse(saved);
+      this.viewStates = new Map(entries);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. View Communication
+
+```typescript
+// events/view-events.ts
+export class ViewEventBus {
+  private eventTarget = new EventTarget();
+
+  emit(eventName: string, detail: any) {
+    this.eventTarget.dispatchEvent(
+      new CustomEvent(eventName, { detail })
+    );
+  }
+
+  on(eventName: string, handler: (detail: any) => void) {
+    this.eventTarget.addEventListener(eventName, (e: CustomEvent) => {
+      handler(e.detail);
+    });
+  }
+
+  // Cross-view communication
+  sendMessage(fromView: string, toView: string, message: any) {
+    this.emit('view-message', {
+      from: fromView,
+      to: toView,
+      message
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Responsive Design
+
+```typescript
+// views/responsive-view.ts
+export const createResponsiveView = (config: IAppView): IAppView => {
+  return {
+    ...config,
+    tabs: config.tabs.map(tab => ({
+      ...tab,
+      content: () => html`
+        <div class="view-content ${getDeviceClass()}">
+          ${tab.content()}
+        </div>
+      `
+    }))
+  };
+};
+
+function getDeviceClass(): string {
+  const width = window.innerWidth;
+  if (width < 768) return 'mobile';
+  if (width < 1024) return 'tablet';
+  return 'desktop';
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Performance Optimization
+
+```typescript
+// optimization/lazy-components.ts
+export const lazyComponent = (
+  importFn: () => Promise<any>,
+  componentName: string
+) => {
+  let loaded = false;
+  
+  return () => {
+    if (!loaded) {
+      importFn().then(() => {
+        loaded = true;
+      });
+      return html`<dees-spinner></dees-spinner>`;
+    }
+    
+    return html`<${componentName}></${componentName}>`;
+  };
+};
+
+// Usage in view
+tabs: [
+  {
+    key: 'heavy-component',
+    content: lazyComponent(
+      () => import('./components/heavy-component.js'),
+      'heavy-component'
+    )
+  }
+]
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### 1. View Permissions
+
+```typescript
+interface IAppViewWithPermissions extends IAppView {
+  requiredPermissions?: string[];
+  visibleTo?: (user: User) => boolean;
+}
+
+class PermissionManager {
+  canAccessView(view: IAppViewWithPermissions, user: User): boolean {
+    if (view.visibleTo) {
+      return view.visibleTo(user);
+    }
+    
+    if (view.requiredPermissions) {
+      return view.requiredPermissions.every(
+        perm => user.permissions.includes(perm)
+      );
+    }
+    
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. View Lifecycle Hooks
+
+```typescript
+interface IAppViewLifecycle extends IAppView {
+  onActivate?: () => Promise<void>;
+  onDeactivate?: () => Promise<void>;
+  onTabChange?: (oldTab: string, newTab: string) => void;
+  onDestroy?: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Dynamic Menu Generation
+
+```typescript
+class DynamicMenuBuilder {
+  buildMainMenu(views: IAppView[], user: User): ITab[] {
+    return views
+      .filter(view => this.canShowInMenu(view, user))
+      .map(view => ({
+        key: view.id,
+        iconName: view.iconName || 'file',
+        action: () => this.navigation.navigateToView(view.id)
+      }));
+  }
+
+  buildSelectorMenu(view: IAppView, context: any): ISelectionOption[] {
+    const baseItems = view.menuItems || [];
+    const contextItems = this.getContextualItems(view, context);
+    
+    return [...baseItems, ...contextItems];
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+For existing applications:
+
+1. **Identify Views**: Map existing routes/pages to views
+2. **Extract Components**: Move page-specific components into view folders
+3. **Define View Configs**: Create IAppView configurations
+4. **Update Navigation**: Replace existing routing with view navigation
+5. **Migrate State**: Move page state to ViewManager
+6. **Test & Optimize**: Ensure smooth transitions and performance
+
+## Example Application Structure
+
+```typescript
+// main.ts
+import { ViewManager } from './services/view-manager.js';
+import { AppNavigation } from './services/navigation.js';
+import { dashboardView } from './views/dashboard/index.js';
+import { projectsView } from './views/projects/index.js';
+import { settingsView } from './views/settings/index.js';
+
+const app = new MyAppShell();
+const viewManager = new ViewManager();
+const navigation = new AppNavigation(viewManager, app);
+
+// Register views
+viewManager.registerView(dashboardView);
+viewManager.registerView(projectsView);
+viewManager.registerView(settingsView);
+
+// Setup navigation
+app.views = [dashboardView, projectsView, settingsView];
+navigation.setupMainMenu();
+navigation.handleBrowserNavigation();
+
+// Initial navigation
+navigation.navigateToView('dashboard');
+
+document.body.appendChild(app);
+```
+
+This architecture provides:
+- **Modularity**: Each view is self-contained
+- **Scalability**: Easy to add new views
+- **Performance**: Lazy loading and caching
+- **Consistency**: Unified navigation and layout
+- **Flexibility**: Customizable per view
+- **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns

+
+## WYSIWYG Editor Architecture
+
+### Recent Refactoring (2025-06-24)
+
+The WYSIWYG editor has been refactored to improve maintainability and separation of concerns:
+
+#### New Handler Classes
+
+1. **WysiwygBlockOperations** (`wysiwyg.blockoperations.ts`)
+   - Manages all block-related operations
+   - Methods: createBlock, insertBlockAfter, removeBlock, findBlock, focusBlock, etc.
+   - Centralized block manipulation logic
+
+2. **WysiwygInputHandler** (`wysiwyg.inputhandler.ts`)
+   - Handles all input events for blocks
+   - Manages block content updates based on type
+   - Detects block type transformations
+   - Handles slash commands
+   - Manages auto-save with debouncing
+
+3. **WysiwygKeyboardHandler** (`wysiwyg.keyboardhandler.ts`)
+   - Handles all keyboard events
+   - Manages formatting shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + B/I/U/K)
+   - Handles special keys: Tab, Enter, Backspace
+   - Manages slash menu navigation
+
+4. **WysiwygDragDropHandler** (`wysiwyg.dragdrophandler.ts`)
+   - Manages drag and drop operations
+   - Tracks drag state
+   - Handles visual feedback during drag
+   - Manages block reordering
+
+5. **WysiwygModalManager** (`wysiwyg.modalmanager.ts`)
+   - Static methods for showing modals
+   - Language selection for code blocks
+   - Block settings modal
+   - Reusable modal patterns
+
+#### Main Component Updates
+
+The main `DeesInputWysiwyg` component now:
+- Instantiates handler classes in `connectedCallback`
+- Delegates complex operations to appropriate handlers
+- Maintains cleaner, more focused code
+- Better separation of concerns
+
+#### Benefits
+- Reduced main component size from 1100+ lines
+- Each handler class is focused on a single responsibility
+- Easier to test individual components
+- Better code organization
+- Improved maintainability
+
+#### Fixed Issues
+- Enter key no longer duplicates content in new blocks
+- Removed problematic `setBlockContents()` method
+- Content is now managed directly through DOM properties
+- Better timing for block creation and focus
+- Slash menu no longer disappears immediately on first "/" press
+- Focus is properly maintained when slash menu opens
+- Removed duplicate event handling methods from main component
+- Simplified focus management throughout the editor
+
+#### Additional Refactoring (2025-06-24 - Part 2)
+- **Removed duplicate code**: handleBlockInput and handleBlockKeyDown methods removed from main component
+- **Simplified focus management**: Removed complex lifecycle methods and timers
+- **Fixed slash menu behavior**: Changed to click events and proper event prevention
+- **dees-wysiwyg-block component**: Now uses static HTML rendering for better content control
+- **Improved formatting preservation**: HTML formatting (bold, italic, etc.) properly preserved in all block types
+
+#### Notes
+- All input handling now goes through WysiwygInputHandler
+- All keyboard handling goes through WysiwygKeyboardHandler
+- The slash menu uses click events instead of mousedown for better UX
+- Focus is maintained using requestAnimationFrame for better timing
+- The refactoring maintains all existing functionality with improved reliability
+
+### Global Menu Architecture (2025-06-24 - Part 3)
+
+The slash menu and formatting menu have been refactored to render globally instead of inside the wysiwyg component. This fixes focus loss issues that were occurring when the menus were re-rendered with the component.
+
+#### Key Components:
+
+1. **DeesSlashMenu** (`dees-slash-menu.ts`)
+   - Singleton component that renders globally in the document body
+   - Accessed via `DeesSlashMenu.getInstance()`
+   - Manages its own visibility, position, and filtering
+   - Emits callbacks when items are selected
+
+2. **DeesFormattingMenu** (`dees-formatting-menu.ts`)
+   - Singleton component that renders globally in the document body
+   - Accessed via `DeesFormattingMenu.getInstance()`
+   - Shows when text is selected
+   - Applies formatting commands via callback
+
+3. **Integration in DeesInputWysiwyg**
+   - Stores singleton instances: `private slashMenu = DeesSlashMenu.getInstance()`
+   - Shows menus with absolute positioning
+   - Menus handle their own rendering and state management
+
+#### Benefits:
+- No focus loss when menus appear/disappear
+- Better performance (menus don't re-render with component)
+- Cleaner separation of concerns
+- Menus persist across component updates
+
+#### Usage:
+```typescript
+// Show slash menu
+this.slashMenu.show(
+  { x: cursorX, y: cursorY },
+  (type: string) => this.insertBlock(type)
+);
+
+// Show formatting menu
+this.formattingMenu.show(
+  { x: selectionX, y: selectionY },
+  (command: string) => this.applyFormat(command)
+);
+```
+
+#### Previous Issues Fixed:
+- Slash menu was disappearing immediately on first "/" press
+- Focus was lost when menus appeared
+- Text selection was not working properly
+- Cursor position was lost after menu interactions
+
+### Arrow Key Navigation (2025-06-24 - Part 4)
+
+Enhanced arrow key handling for seamless navigation between blocks:
+
+#### Features:
+1. **ArrowUp at block start**: Automatically navigates to the end of the previous block
+2. **ArrowDown at block end**: Automatically navigates to the beginning of the next block
+3. **Smart detection**: Checks actual cursor position within the block content
+4. **Slash menu integration**: When slash menu is open, arrow keys navigate menu items instead
+5. **No focus loss**: Navigation maintains focus throughout
+
+#### Implementation:
+- Added `handleArrowUp()` and `handleArrowDown()` methods to `WysiwygKeyboardHandler`
+- Smart cursor position detection for different block types (text, lists, etc.)
+- Helper method `getLastTextNode()` for finding the last text position in complex HTML
+- Prevents default behavior only when navigating between blocks
+- Skips divider blocks during navigation
+
+### Focus Management Improvements (2025-06-24 - Part 5)
+
+Enhanced focus management to prevent focus loss during various operations:
+
+#### Key Improvements:
+
+1. **Formatting Without execCommand**:
+   - Replaced deprecated `document.execCommand` with modern DOM manipulation
+   - Proper selection restoration after formatting
+   - Async formatting operations to maintain focus
+
+2. **Link Dialog**:
+   - Replaced `prompt()` with custom modal dialog
+   - Maintains focus context during async operations
+   - Auto-focuses input field in modal
+
+3. **Robust Focus Methods**:
+   - Double `requestAnimationFrame` for DOM update timing
+   - Fallback focus attempts with microtasks
+   - Contenteditable attribute verification
+
+4. **Cursor Positioning**:
+   - Enhanced `setCursorToStart/End` with edge case handling
+   - Zero-width space insertion for empty elements
+   - Recursive node traversal for complex HTML structures
+
+5. **Async Keyboard Shortcuts**:
+   - Formatting shortcuts use Promise resolution
+   - Prevents focus loss during rapid keyboard input
+
+#### Implementation Details:
+- `focusWithCursor()` method now handles empty blocks and complex HTML
+- `applyFormat()` is async and properly restores selection
+- Link creation no longer uses blocking `prompt()` dialog
+- All focus operations use proper timing with RAF and microtasks
+
+### Focus Loss Prevention for Menus (2025-06-24 - Part 6)
+
+Fixed focus loss issues when slash menu and formatting menu appear:
+
+#### Key Fixes:
+
+1. **Timeout Reduction**:
+   - Replaced 50ms setTimeout with requestAnimationFrame
+   - Immediate focus attempt before falling back to RAF
+   - Reduced delay when inserting blocks
+
+2. **Menu Focus Prevention**:
+   - Added `tabindex="-1"` to prevent menus from taking focus
+   - Added focus event prevention on menus
+   - Menus now use mousedown prevention consistently
+
+3. **Blur Event Handling**:
+   - Skip value updates when slash menu is visible
+   - Prevent auto-save during slash menu interaction
+   - Maintain focus after menu appears with RAF
+
+4. **Block Focus Optimization**:
+   - Try immediate focus if block element exists
+   - Fall back to RAF only when necessary
+   - Consistent focus handling across all block types
+
+#### Implementation:
+- `handleBlockBlur()` checks if slash menu is visible before updating
+- `scheduleAutoSave()` skips saving when slash menu is open
+- Slash menu show adds RAF to restore focus if lost
+- Reduced timing delays throughout the focus chain
+
+### Slash Command Cleanup (2025-06-24 - Part 7)
+
+Fixed the issue where "/" remained in the editor after selecting a block type:
+
+#### The Fix:
+
+1. **In `insertBlock()`**:
+   - Clear slash command before transforming block type
+   - Use regex `/^\/[^\s]*\s*/` to match slash + filter text
+   - Trim the result to ensure clean content
+   - Set content to empty for transformed blocks
+
+2. **Improved Content Handling**:
+   - Wait for `updateComplete` before focusing
+   - Ensure lists start with empty content
+   - Consistent cleanup in both `insertBlock` and `closeSlashMenu`
+
+3. **Edge Cases**:
+   - Handle filtered commands (e.g., "/hea" for heading)
+   - Clear content even with partial matches
+   - Proper content reset for all block types
+
+Now when selecting a block type from the slash menu, the "/" and any filter text is properly removed before the block transformation occurs.
+
+### Enhanced Enter Key and Block Settings (2025-06-24 - Part 8)
+
+Added two major improvements to the wysiwyg editor:
+
+#### 1. Smart Enter Key Behavior:
+
+When pressing Enter, content after the cursor is now moved to the next block:
+
+- **Content Splitting**: Uses Range API to extract content after cursor
+- **HTML Preservation**: Maintains formatting when splitting blocks
+- **Clean Split**: Current block keeps content before cursor, new block gets content after
+- **Empty Block**: If cursor is at end, creates empty new block
+
+Implementation in `WysiwygKeyboardHandler.handleEnter()`:
+```typescript
+// Clone the range to extract content after cursor
+const afterRange = range.cloneRange();
+afterRange.selectNodeContents(target);
+afterRange.setStart(range.endContainer, range.endOffset);
+
+// Extract content after cursor
+const afterContent = afterRange.extractContents();
+```
+
+#### 2. Block Type Changing via Settings Menu:
+
+The block settings menu (three dots) now includes block type selection:
+
+- **Type Selector Grid**: Shows all available block types with icons
+- **Smart Metadata Handling**: 
+  - Clears code language when changing from code block
+  - Clears list type when changing from list
+  - Prompts for language when changing to code block
+- **Visual Feedback**: Currently selected type is highlighted
+- **Instant Update**: Block transforms immediately on selection
+
+Features:
+- Works for all block types (not just code blocks)
+- Preserves content during type transformation
+- Handles special cases like code block language selection
+- Modal closes automatically after selection
+
+### Complete WYSIWYG Refactoring (2025-06-24 - Part 9)
+
+Major architectural improvements to fix Enter key behavior and left arrow focus loss:
+
+#### 1. Async Operation Architecture:
+- All focus operations are now async with proper Promise handling
+- `insertBlockAfter()` waits for component updates before focusing
+- `focusBlock()` ensures DOM is ready with `updateComplete`
+- Eliminated arbitrary timeouts in favor of proper async/await
+
+#### 2. Enter Key Split Content Fix:
+- Added `getSplitContent()` method to block component
+- Properly extracts content before/after cursor using Range API
+- Updates current block and creates new block atomically
+- Content after cursor correctly moves to new block
+
+```typescript
+// In block component
+public getSplitContent(): { before: string; after: string } | null {
+  const beforeRange = range.cloneRange();
+  beforeRange.selectNodeContents(this.blockElement);
+  beforeRange.setEnd(range.startContainer, range.startOffset);
+  // ... extract and return split content
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Arrow Key Navigation:
+- Added ArrowLeft/ArrowRight handlers for block boundaries
+- Prevents focus loss when navigating between blocks
+- Only intercepts at block boundaries, normal navigation otherwise
+- All arrow key operations are async for proper timing
+
+#### 4. Interface Architecture:
+Created `wysiwyg.interfaces.ts` with proper typing:
+- `IWysiwygComponent` - Main component contract
+- `IBlockOperations` - Block operation methods
+- `IWysiwygBlockComponent` - Block component interface
+- `IBlockEventHandlers` - Event handler signatures
+
+#### 5. Focus Management Improvements:
+- Eliminated double RAF in favor of single async flow
+- Focus operations wait for DOM updates via `updateComplete`
+- Proper cursor positioning after all operations
+- No more focus loss during navigation
+
+#### Key Changes:
+1. Keyboard handler methods are now async
+2. Block operations return Promises
+3. Enter key properly splits content at cursor
+4. Arrow keys handle block navigation without focus loss
+5. All timing is handled via proper async/await patterns
+
+The refactoring eliminates race conditions and timing issues that were causing focus loss and content duplication problems.
+
+### Programmatic Rendering Solution (2025-06-24 - Part 10)
+
+Fixed persistent focus loss issue by implementing fully programmatic rendering:
+
+#### The Problem:
+- User would click in a block, type text, then press arrow keys and lose focus
+- Root cause: Lit was re-rendering components when block content was mutated
+- Even with shouldUpdate() preventing re-renders, parent re-evaluation caused focus loss
+
+#### The Solution:
+
+1. **Static Parent Rendering**:
+   - Parent component renders only once with empty editor content div
+   - All blocks are created and managed programmatically via DOM manipulation
+   - No Lit re-renders triggered by state changes
+
+2. **Manual Block Management**:
+   - `renderBlocksProgrammatically()` creates all block elements manually
+   - `createBlockElement()` builds block wrapper with all event handlers
+   - `updateBlockElement()` replaces individual blocks when needed
+   - No reactive properties trigger parent re-renders
+
+3. **Content Update Strategy**:
+   - During typing, content is NOT immediately synced to data model
+   - Auto-save delayed to 2 seconds to avoid interference
+   - Content synced from DOM only on blur or before save
+   - `syncAllBlockContent()` reads from DOM when needed
+
+4. **Focus Preservation**:
+   - Block components prevent re-renders with `shouldUpdate()`
+   - Parent never re-renders after initial load
+   - Focus remains stable during all editing operations
+   - Arrow key navigation works without focus loss
+
+5. **Implementation Details**:
+   ```typescript
+   // Parent render method - static after first render
+   render(): TemplateResult {
+     return html`
+       <div class="editor-content" id="editor-content">
+         <!-- Blocks rendered programmatically -->
+       </div>
+     `;
+   }
+   
+   // All block operations use DOM manipulation
+   private renderBlocksProgrammatically() {
+     this.editorContentRef.innerHTML = '';
+     this.blocks.forEach(block => {
+       const blockWrapper = this.createBlockElement(block);
+       this.editorContentRef.appendChild(blockWrapper);
+     });
+   }
+   ```
+
+This approach completely eliminates focus loss by taking full control of the DOM and preventing any framework-induced re-renders during editing.
+
+### Code Refactoring and Cleanup (2025-06-24 - Part 11)
+
+Completed comprehensive refactoring to ensure clean, maintainable code with separated concerns:
+
+#### Refactoring Changes:
+
+1. **Drag and Drop Handler Cleanup**:
+   - Removed all `requestUpdate()` calls from drag handler
+   - Handler now only updates internal state
+   - Parent component handles DOM updates programmatically
+   - Simplified drag state management
+
+2. **Unused Code Removal**:
+   - Removed duplicate `showBlockSettingsModal` method (using WysiwygModalManager)
+   - Removed duplicate `showLanguageSelectionModal` method
+   - Removed unused `renderBlock` method
+   - Cleaned up unused imports (WysiwygBlocks, ISlashMenuItem)
+
+3. **Import Cleanup**:
+   - Removed unused type imports
+   - Organized imports logically
+   - Kept only necessary dependencies
+
+4. **Separated Concerns**:
+   - Modal management in WysiwygModalManager
+   - Block operations in WysiwygBlockOperations
+   - Input handling in WysiwygInputHandler
+   - Keyboard handling in WysiwygKeyboardHandler
+   - Drag/drop in WysiwygDragDropHandler
+   - Each class has a single responsibility
+
+5. **Programmatic DOM Management**:
+   - All DOM updates happen through explicit methods
+   - No reactive re-renders during user interaction
+   - Manual class management for drag states
+   - Direct DOM manipulation for performance
+
+6. **Test Files Created**:
+   - `test-focus-fix.html` - Verifies focus management
+   - `test-drag-drop.html` - Tests drag and drop functionality
+   - `test-comprehensive.html` - Tests all features together
+
+The refactoring follows the principles in instructions.md:
+- Uses static templates with manual DOM operations
+- Maintains separated concerns in different classes
+- Results in clean, concise, and manageable code
+
+## Z-Index Management System (2025-12-24)
+
+A comprehensive z-index management system has been implemented to fix overlay stacking conflicts:
+
+### The Problem:
+- Modals were hiding dropdown overlays
+- Context menus appeared behind modals
+- Inconsistent z-index values across components
+- No clear hierarchy for overlay stacking
+
+### The Solution:
+
+#### 1. Central Z-Index Constants (`00zindex.ts`):
+Created a centralized file defining all z-index layers:
+
+```typescript
+export const zIndexLayers = {
+  // Base layer: Regular content
+  base: {
+    content: 'auto',
+    inputElements: 1,
+  },
+  // Fixed UI elements
+  fixed: {
+    appBar: 10,
+    sideMenu: 10,
+    mobileNav: 250,
+  },
+  // Overlay backdrops
+  backdrop: {
+    dropdown: 1999,
+    modal: 2999,
+    contextMenu: 3999,
+  },
+  // Interactive overlays
+  overlay: {
+    dropdown: 2000,     // Dropdowns and select menus
+    modal: 3000,        // Modal dialogs
+    contextMenu: 4000,  // Context menus and tooltips
+    toast: 5000,        // Toast notifications
+  },
+  // Special cases
+  modalDropdown: 3500,    // Dropdowns inside modals
+  wysiwygMenus: 4500,     // Editor formatting menus
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Updated Components:
+- **dees-modal**: Changed from 2000 to 3000
+- **dees-windowlayer**: Changed from 200-201 to 1999-2000 (used by dropdowns)
+- **dees-contextmenu**: Changed from 10000 to 4000
+- **dees-toast**: Changed from 10000 to 5000
+- **wysiwyg menus**: Changed from 10000 to 4500
+- **dees-appui-profiledropdown**: Uses new dropdown z-index (2000)
+
+#### 3. Stacking Order (bottom to top):
+1. Regular page content (auto)
+2. Fixed navigation elements (10-250)
+3. Dropdown backdrop (1999)
+4. Dropdown content (2000)
+5. Modal backdrop (2999)
+6. Modal content (3000)
+7. Context menu (4000)
+8. WYSIWYG menus (4500)
+9. Toast notifications (5000)
+
+#### 4. Key Benefits:
+- Dropdowns now appear above modals
+- Context menus appear above dropdowns and modals
+- Toast notifications always appear on top
+- Consistent and predictable stacking behavior
+- Easy to adjust hierarchy by modifying central constants
+
+#### 5. Testing:
+Created `test-zindex.demo.ts` to verify stacking behavior with:
+- Modal containing dropdown
+- Context menu on modal
+- Toast notifications
+- Complex overlay combinations
+
+### Usage:
+Import and use the z-index constants in any component:
+```typescript
+import { zIndexLayers } from './00zindex.js';
+
+// In styles
+z-index: ${zIndexLayers.overlay.modal};
+```
+
+This system ensures proper stacking order for all overlay components and prevents z-index conflicts.

+# WYSIWYG Editor Refactoring Progress Summary
+
+## Latest Updates
+
+### Selection Highlighting Fix ✅
+- **Issue**: "Paragraphs are not highlighted consistently, headings are always highlighted"
+- **Root Cause**: The `shouldUpdate` method in `dees-wysiwyg-block.ts` was using a generic `.block` selector that would match the first element with that class, not necessarily the correct block element
+- **Solution**: Changed the selector to be more specific: `.block.${blockType}` which ensures the correct element is found for each block type
+- **Result**: All block types now highlight consistently when selected
+
+### Enter Key Block Creation Fix ✅
+- **Issue**: "When pressing enter and jumping to new block then typing something: The cursor is not at the beginning of the new block and there is content"
+- **Root Cause**: Block handlers were rendering content with template syntax `${block.content || ''}` in their render methods, which violates the static HTML principle
+- **Solution**: 
+  - Removed all `${block.content}` from render methods in paragraph, heading, quote, and code block handlers
+  - Content is now set programmatically in the setup() method only when needed
+  - Fixed `setCursorToStart` and `setCursorToEnd` to always find elements fresh instead of relying on cached `blockElement`
+- **Result**: New empty blocks remain truly empty, cursor positioning works correctly
+
+### Backspace Key Deletion Fix ✅
+- **Issue**: "After typing in a new block, pressing backspace deletes the whole block instead of just the last character"
+- **Root Cause**: 
+  1. `getCursorPositionInElement` was using `element.contains()` which doesn't work across Shadow DOM boundaries
+  2. The backspace handler was checking `block.content === ''` which only contains the stored content, not the actual DOM content
+- **Solution**:
+  1. Fixed `getCursorPositionInElement` to use `containsAcrossShadowDOM` for proper Shadow DOM support
+  2. Updated backspace handler to get actual content from DOM using `blockComponent.getContent()` instead of relying on stored `block.content`
+  3. Added debug logging to track cursor position and content state
+- **Result**: Backspace now correctly deletes individual characters instead of the whole block
+
+### Arrow Left Navigation Fix ✅
+- **Issue**: "When jumping to the previous block from the beginning of a block with arrow left, the cursor should be at the end of the previous block, not at the start"
+- **Root Cause**: Browser's default focus behavior places cursor at the beginning of contenteditable elements, overriding our cursor positioning
+- **Solution**: For 'end' position, set up the selection range BEFORE focusing the element:
+  1. Create a range pointing to the end of content
+  2. Apply the selection
+  3. Then focus the element (which preserves the existing selection)
+  4. Only use setCursorToEnd for empty blocks
+- **Result**: Arrow left navigation now correctly places cursor at the end of the previous block
+
+## Completed Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Infrastructure ✅
+- Created modular block handler architecture
+- Implemented `IBlockHandler` interface and `BaseBlockHandler` class
+- Created `BlockRegistry` for dynamic block type registration
+- Set up proper file structure under `blocks/` directory
+
+### Phase 2: Proof of Concept ✅
+- Successfully migrated divider block as the simplest example
+- Validated the architecture works correctly
+- Established patterns for block migration
+
+### Phase 3: Text Blocks ✅
+- **Paragraph Block**: Full editing support with text splitting, selection handling, and cursor tracking
+- **Heading Blocks**: All three heading levels (h1, h2, h3) with unified handler
+- **Quote Block**: Italic styling with border, full editing capabilities
+- **Code Block**: Monospace font, tab handling, plain text paste support
+- **List Block**: Bullet/numbered lists with proper list item management
+
+## Key Achievements
+
+### 1. Preserved Critical Knowledge
+- **Static Rendering**: Blocks use `innerHTML` in `firstUpdated` to prevent focus loss during typing
+- **Shadow DOM Selection**: Implemented `containsAcrossShadowDOM` utility for proper selection detection
+- **Cursor Position Tracking**: All editable blocks track cursor position across multiple events
+- **Content Splitting**: HTML-aware splitting using Range API preserves formatting
+- **Focus Management**: Microtask-based focus restoration ensures reliable cursor placement
+
+### 2. Enhanced Architecture
+- Each block type is now self-contained in its own file
+- Block handlers are dynamically registered and loaded
+- Common functionality is shared through base classes
+- Styles are co-located with their block handlers
+
+### 3. Maintained Functionality
+- All keyboard navigation works (arrows, backspace, delete, enter)
+- Text selection across Shadow DOM boundaries functions correctly
+- Block merging and splitting behave as before
+- IME (Input Method Editor) support is preserved
+- Formatting shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl+B/I/U/K) continue to work
+

+
+## Technical Improvements
+
+1. **Modularity**: Each block type is now completely self-contained
+2. **Extensibility**: New blocks can be added by creating a handler and registering it
+3. **Maintainability**: Files are smaller and focused on single responsibilities
+4. **Type Safety**: Strong TypeScript interfaces ensure consistent implementation
+5. **Performance**: No degradation in performance; potential for lazy loading in future
+
+## Migration Pattern
+
+For future block migrations, follow this pattern:
+
+1. Create block handler extending `BaseBlockHandler`
+2. Implement required methods: `render()`, `setup()`, `getStyles()`
+3. Add helper methods for cursor/content management
+4. Handle Shadow DOM selection properly using utilities
+5. Register handler in `wysiwyg.blockregistration.ts`
+6. Test all interactions (typing, selection, navigation)
+
+The refactoring has been successful in making the codebase more maintainable while preserving all the hard-won functionality and edge case handling from the original implementation.

+# WYSIWYG Editor Refactoring
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+This refactoring cleaned up the wysiwyg editor implementation to fix focus, cursor position, and selection issues.
+
+### Phase 1: Code Organization
+
+#### 1. Removed Duplicate Code
+- Removed duplicate `handleBlockInput` method from main component (was already in inputHandler)
+- Removed duplicate `handleBlockKeyDown` method from main component (was already in keyboardHandler)
+- Consolidated all input handling in the respective handler classes
+
+#### 2. Simplified Focus Management
+- Removed complex `updated` lifecycle method that was trying to maintain focus
+- Simplified `handleBlockBlur` to not immediately close menus
+- Added `requestAnimationFrame` to focus operations for better timing
+- Removed `slashMenuOpenTime` tracking which was no longer needed
+
+#### 3. Fixed Slash Menu Behavior
+- Changed from `@mousedown` to `@click` events for better UX
+- Added proper event prevention to avoid focus loss
+- Menu now closes when clicking outside
+- Simplified the insertBlock method to close menu first
+
+### Phase 2: Cursor & Selection Fixes
+
+#### 4. Enhanced Cursor Position Management
+- Added `focusWithCursor()` method to block component for precise cursor positioning
+- Improved `handleSlashCommand` to preserve cursor position when menu opens
+- Added `getCaretCoordinates()` for accurate menu positioning based on cursor location
+- Updated `focusBlock()` to support numeric cursor positions
+
+#### 5. Fixed Selection Across Shadow DOM
+- Added custom `block-text-selected` event to communicate selections across shadow boundaries
+- Implemented `handleMouseUp()` in block component to detect selections
+- Updated main component to listen for selection events from blocks
+- Selection now works properly even with nested shadow DOMs
+
+#### 6. Improved Slash Menu Close Behavior
+- Added optional `clearSlash` parameter to `closeSlashMenu()`
+- Escape key now properly clears the slash command
+- Clicking outside clears the slash if menu is open
+- Selecting an item preserves content and just transforms the block
+
+### Technical Improvements
+
+#### Block Component (`dees-wysiwyg-block`)
+- Better focus management with immediate focus (removed unnecessary requestAnimationFrame)
+- Added cursor position control methods
+- Custom event dispatching for cross-shadow-DOM communication
+- Improved content handling for different block types
+
+#### Input Handler
+- Preserves cursor position when showing slash menu
+- Better caret coordinate calculation for menu positioning
+- Ensures focus stays in the block when menu appears
+
+#### Block Operations
+- Enhanced `focusBlock()` to support start/end/numeric positions
+- Better timing with requestAnimationFrame for focus operations
+
+### Key Benefits
+- Slash menu no longer causes focus or cursor position loss
+- Text selection works properly across shadow DOM boundaries
+- Cursor position is preserved when interacting with menus
+- Cleaner, more maintainable code structure
+- Better separation of concerns
+
+## Testing
+
+Use the test files in `.nogit/debug/`:
+- `test-slash-menu.html` - Tests slash menu focus behavior
+- `test-wysiwyg-formatting.html` - Tests text formatting
+
+## Known Issues Fixed
+- Slash menu disappearing immediately on first "/"
+- Focus lost when slash menu opens
+- Cursor position lost when typing "/"
+- Text selection not working properly
+- Selection events not propagating across shadow DOM
+- Duplicate event handling causing conflicts
