Hi,
maybe http://writemonkey.com/ could be interesting for you. I think it meets all of your criteria. It’s made for writing purposes and has some additional features for this (I especially like the typewriter sound).
best regards
Achim

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Actually I was keeping my original archive file in WriteMonkey, but as I need to start saving different versions on an ongoing basis, I need a file window, so I can see the existing file names.

Interesting. I have Python and don’t mind non-pretty, but had some trouble with Simplenote + Resophnotes in the past, so I’d rather not go there…

Knowsynotes really ticks all the boxes! The word count is a bit off (from the MS Word method), but I can live with that. It’s a little bit annoying that it kicks you out of your current directory, if you change any of the settings, but other than that, it’s sweet!

You can disable Simplenote sync in Resophnotes and have it save all notes as text files instead.

Thanks for the suggestion, RN is indeed a serious contender. I do actually prefer Resophnotes’ Markdown rendering to that of Knowsynotes. It would be nice if the Markdown preview pane could be in the same window as the edit pane, but oh, well… I just wish I could change the CTRL+M shortcut for Markdown preview, as I’ve already assigned that to something else…

For nvPY (and I think all Notational Velocity clones) Simplenote is just an option—the others are Dropbox and any other folder you wish to use.
