This project is no longer maintained. I suggest you use Visual Studio Code. Don't let the it's a code editor scare you off. It's accessable and very powerful (and cross platform!). There are several quality Markdown extensions that support many features not found in Markdown Edit.
Markdown Edit
Markdown Edit is a Windows desktop Markdown editor with an emphasis on content and keyboard shortcuts. There is minimal window chrome and most functions are accessed through keyboard shortcuts. There is no main menu, status bar, tabbed windows or other distractions.
Mission Statement, Roadmap and Contributor Guidelines
Windows 7 - You're welcome to install MDE on Windows 7 but it's not supported. Some users have reported a font issue. The issue is cosmetic (some icons appear as blank squares). Read more and link to new font.
