Bug #: 33267
Summary: ACCEL+K should NOT activate the Link Window
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: VisualEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Currently, hitting <control> or <command> + K in the Visual Editor opens a link
dialog. This is sub-optimal, as <control>-k is (and has been, for about 30
years) the "kill" command in emacs-like editors. (<ctrl>-k adds to the kill
ring, <ctrl>-y pastes the kill ring into the contents).
I suggest that the Visual Editor should support these basic commands by
default, without modification via preferences (e.g., "use emacs keybindings").
Activation of the link editor should probably be moved to a more intuitive
accelerator anyways ("k" does not suggest "link" to me).
For implementation, the "kill ring" functionality operates thus: <ctrl>-k
deletes the current line of text, including the EOL character. This text is
copied into the "kill ring" buffer. Additional <ctrl>-k expressions ''add'' to
the kill ring; ''any'' other activity (including cursor movement) "closes" the
kill ring. At that point, <ctrl>-y will insert the entire contents of the kill
ring into the text at the point of the cursor.
