--- Comment #27 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 11699 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=11699&action=edit A drawing to go with comment 27. Sorry, but I still don't see how is this different than what I'm proposing right now. Can you define "search suggestions" and "search result lists"? I made a helpful graphic (in the attachment). The red part I'll call "the dropdown", the green "the input", and the light-blue "the button". I'll also use "Shift" to refer to any key that allows one to open something (a form result or a link) in a new tab for simplicity; adjust accordingly for whichever browser you use. The situation is like this: * Right now, the version of MediaWiki deployed on WMF wikis doesn't support middle-clicking, Shift-clicking, nor any other way I know of to open neither search results, nor the specific article from the dropdown on a new tab/window. * With my patch for bug 21167 & bug 17808 (not yet deployed on WMF wikis, but it will be soon - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/Roadmap), the dropdown support Shift-clicking and middle-clicking naturally (since it is built on regular <a> links). However, you can't Shift-submit the form using either the input or the button, as the keypress is captured by JavaScript events. * It looks that the gadget you linked enabled Shift-clicking and Shift-submitting on everything by the virtue of enforcing form submission target to be a new tab if Shift is pressed, and this tab if it isn't. This, well, works, but personally I don't like this solution at all from the "purity" standpoint :) What I'm going to work on is to allow the form submission to happen "naturally" as well. This would allow Shift-submission to work in browsers supporting it, and not do anything in the rest - I don't know about others, Opera certainly does. (That Firefox addon should probably work, too.) I hope I made it all clear now from my side So once again - please define "search suggestions" and "search result lists", so that we both understand each other :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
