Comments on use of the current modify feature control: * Deleting points does not offer enough feedback to external applications to actually make use of it. If we're going to support deletion of features, there needs to be a better hook -- something like 'onDelete' -- which is passed the feature. * Point modifications are iffy at best. Clicking them to select typically works, but clicking to unselect doesn't work so well, and after 'deleting' a feature, it seems impossible to get off that feature and edit something else. * It would be nice if the DragFeature control could be integrated as well: if you have a feature selected, and you drag it, the feature could move. * Current code is lacking an onModification call inside the handleKeypress code, so deletes don't trigger onModification. (This is a simple one line fix, just writing it down cause I don't have time to muck with it at the moment.)
In general, it's looking very nice -- these are just things I came across when setting up http://labs.metacarta.com/atompub/app-demo.html -- note that there is no point drawing here, because the point modification stuff just felt a bit too rough for me to mess with. Thanks to all the hard work that everyone has been doing on this! I'm looking forward to Tim getting back and working on getting all this into trunk for 2.5.
