Anyone have a recommendation for an editor like the WMD editor, but using MediaWiki markup instead of Markdown? Our site is already using MediaWiki markup but we want a slicker editor without changing markup completely.

Requirements include:

live preview of formatted text underneath the markup you're typing
a toolbar for common formatting (bold, italic, links, bullets, numbered-list, code, etc)
keyboard shortcuts for each toolbar button (e.g. CTRL+B for bold)
Undo/redo via keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+Z/CTRL+Y) or toolbar buttons
works well in the usual set of popular browsers (including IE6!)
open-source would be preferred
