The NatEditPlugin will take over the default Raw Edit as soon as it is installed. Unfortunately, my users still want to have the plain old Raw Edit as an option (we have had the wiki for many years, this is what they are used to). The only way I could have both was to comment out the following code in initPlugin:

#  my $skin = Foswiki::Func::getPreferencesValue('SKIN');
  # not using Foswiki::Func::getSkin() to prevent
  # getting the cover as well

#  unless ($skin =~ /\b(natedit)\b/) {
#    $skin = "natedit,$skin";
#    Foswiki::Func::setPreferencesValue('SKIN', $skin);
# }

This is obviously annoying and will have to be remembered on upgrades.

Could we please provide a way to turn this feature off? I think the best way would be to leave this on as default, but have a setting in configure which allows people to turn it of. It could be an EXPERT setting so most people wont see it and get confused.

I will be happy to do the work and docs for this if its agreed that its sensible.
