Ah, yeah - which is why it hijacks the search shortcut to do a web
form search rather than the browser builtin. Seems to work OK - I
wouldn't count this as a major usability problem, at least for me.
Fair enough, there's always an element of subjectivity to UX, so YMMV.
At the same time one issue with the aforementioned hijacking is that
is not complete, either--e.g., it doesn't support built-in search
features like "Find Next" or "Find Previous". For users used to
keyboard navigation this is a usability problem (especially in
development-oriented discussions, when searching for occurrences of
identifiers in, say, LLVM IR does come in handy).
I want to highlight the accessibility point here. I have fairly poor
vision, and regularly consume content in modes which someone with
perfect vision might not. The ability to blow things up, search easily
within a page, and otherwise consume content in a customizable manner
*matters* to me. I emphasize this because I feel the point often gets
lost in tooling discussions.
There's no such restriction in the Mailman web UI since it
displays the
entire thread on one page by default, even for longer threads, e.g.,
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/thread/JM6SQ2YNMDAKXYD5O54QWMVR2X7QOXVL/
<https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/thread/JM6SQ2YNMDAKXYD5O54QWMVR2X7QOXVL/>
Loading the complete thread (displaying all messages) allows the
built-in search to work without issues.
Great to see too - especially to see that it addresses an issue
that's always pained me about our current mailman setup, where
threads get split by week or month - so there's no nice way to link
to a whole thread. I'll be happy to see that addressed in either/any
way.
Agreed, I also see this as an improvement.
Best,
Matt
