I'm a bit of a stickler for having to click more times than necessary. So, I don't like having to click from Visual to BBCode to Visual (two clicks) to be able to get an accurate live preview, showing me all the @username links I typed. I also didn't like that my smilies weren't parsing. So, I created a solution.

1) If you click the "Quick Preview" button, it will refresh the Visual Editor textarea with an accurate live preview.
2) If you click the "Visual" tab, it will do the same.

I did attempt to make it automatically update when a user paused typing, but it would not retain the current cursor position right now. This is probably fixable once I delve more into the code behind the WYSIWYG.

This preview shows the Quick Preview button.

This plugin requires the yootil plugin to be installed before this: support.proboards.com/thread/429360/plugin-yootil-library-8-2 (download there.)
