jQuery Rich Text Editor

I'm currently using TinyMCE 3 on a site, but have noticed it's pretty bloated (many files to download, etc.). I'm working on improving the site's download time, etc. One of the things I want to do is replace TinyMCE with a more lightweight solution.

My requirements are basic:

  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Unordered list
  • Ordered list
  • Blockquote
  • Outdent
  • Indent
  • Cut, Copy, Paste (can live without these)
  • Undo & Redo (can live without these)

The editor is not used to create complex layouts or anything. It's just used in simple forms, like for emails and product/service descriptions. Just very basic formatting requirements.

Finally, something hosted on Google CDN would be a big plus.

Suggestions?

You can strip tinymce down massively.

Just show the icons you want and delete all the plugin folders that contain functionality for the icons you don't want.

Delete the themes/skins you don't want.

Delete all the pages relating to the image/file manager.

The core isn't that big.
