At the bottom of a form there are 2 buttons
A third button to save the form and switch immediately to whole edition of the page with VisualEditor in one click could be useful especially when freetext is hidden.
This may exist already - did you know about the "save and continue" button?

Yes but this button don't switch to edition mode of the whole page with visual editor for example.
Oh, now I understand. It seems very doubtful that such a button would be created... I don't think it's a big deal for users to just save and then go to a different editing tab.
I think it could be useful for basic users that don't want to see any wikicode. Forms designers could add it with a key word like
{{{standard input|save and vedit}}}
If I develop this feature myself what is your guidelines to make it accepted on the extension code ?
Thanks
@Yaron_Koren: @Nicolas_NALLET and I are convinced it could be an interesting feature for users to directly (save and) switch to Visual Editor in the whole page, and this would need a new button {{{standard input|save and vedit}}}.
Technically, if you prefer not to introduce it in the standard version of PageForms, is it possible to add a (PageForms) hook to register a new type of button? We could then use it to create a local micro-extension of PageForms. Such a hook would be in PFFormPrinter::formHTML() preferably in the section standard input processing but instead in the section default outer level processing.
I still don't think this button would be that useful... but I'm always happy to add hooks in to Page Forms. If you come up with a setup of a PF hook + outside code that gets this button to work, just send me a patch for the hook and I'll gladly merge it in.
