Bug #: 39649
Summary: CodeEditor extension's tab key behavior is slightly
infuriating
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CodeEditor
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
For years, I've used the tab key on my keyboard to switch between the textarea
and the edit summary input on MediaWiki wikis. Then I usually press the tab key
a few more times to select the "save page" or "show preview" buttons.
When CodeEditor is active, the tab key is hijacked, inserting four spaces into
the textarea when the tab key is pressed. This is a legitimate hijacking, I
think, but it disrupts the (somewhat expected) tab key behavior in a slightly
infuriating way.
There's no way to escape the textarea short of using the mouse. This sucks.
I'm not sure how to best handle this. Maybe a double-tap of the tab key could
be used? Maybe the escape key could be used? Shift-tab (which may already be
taken)?
