I am always a little stumped that it is not allowed to merge two
paragraphs by pressing backspace (delete) at the first (last) position
of a paragraph where there is another layout in the previous (next)
paragraph.
I think I found the passage in the source which sound as if this is an
important idea:
// FIXME: Do we really not want to allow this???
// Pasting is not allowed, if the paragraphs have different
// layouts. I think it is a real bug of all other
// word processors to allow it. It confuses the user.
// Correction: Pasting is always allowed with standard-layout
// or the empty layout.
else if (par.layout() == prevpar.layout()
|| tclass.isDefaultLayout(par.layout())
|| tclass.isPlainLayout(par.layout())) {
cur.recordUndo(prevcur.pit());
mergeParagraph(bufparams, plist, prevcur.pit());
needsUpdate = true;
}
Unfortunately, I don't see why it is such a bad idea to merge in this
case. Maybe someone can enlighten me. I find it hard to train my brain
to consider the layout circumstances when trying to merge paragraphs.
Hence, I would suggest to remove the check.
Best,
Daniel
