This task is about adding a yet-to-be defined set of tools to the Reply and New Discussion tool's `source` mode.
//Note: adding tools to the DiscussionTools' `source` mode depends on changes being made to the `source` mode's "editing surface".//
=== Tool ideas
//This sections contains a living list of tools we ought to consider adding.//

-- via @Urbanecm: //"...would be possible to add the mention tool to the source editor as well? I use source editor most of the time, because it allows me to insert templates/links "easily" without using my mouse, but for mentions, I have to type it myself, or switch to the visual editor."//
