Bug ID: 51897
Summary: Please DWIM when i press "[[", "{{", "==" etc.
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Editing Tools
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
today, VE is already smart enough to realize that when the user types "[[",
they probably do not mean to add the string "[[" to the page, but rather trying
to add an internal link.
as of now, VE responds by displaying a popup saying something like "this is
probably not what you meant to do".
this request is about teaching VE to do what i *did* mean to do, rather than
warning me about the problem.

REQUESTED ACTION
0) read [[en:DWIM]]
1) change what VE does when i type "[[": instead of popping the warning popup,
remove it from the page and pretend i pressed <Ctrl>+K.
2) when i type "{{", remove it from the page and pretend i pressed the "edit
template" button.
3) if you can find a good response to "==", do this also.
4) if it's possible to convince VE to be nicer when i type '' or ''' or ''''',
this would be grand.
5) of course, if VE finds unbalanced '', ''', or <newLine>={1,4}, when trying
to save, it would be nice if it can warn me then.
peace.
