--- Comment #6 from James Forrester <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > I'm ambivalent about whether we would ever let this go live, given how > > complicated it would make editing for people that don't know wikitext - > > consequently, marking as lowest priority for now. > > You and I discussed this idea at some point (thanks for filing this as a bug, > Oliver). The current issues I'm seeing with VisualEditor are that: > > (1) it's much more time-consuming to add a link (i.e., typing "[[]]" is quick > while finding and using the link dialog box is slow, especially multiple > times); and > > (2) it requires the use of a mouse to add a link. :-( Not true, as discussed; I don't use the mouse to add links with VE (Ctrl+K plus keyboard-based selection, as in other editors). > Perhaps we need a "I'm old school" checkbox somewhere in VisualEditor. ;-) If users are sufficiently new-school that they can't remember Ctrl+K I don't think there's much hope for them. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
