--- Comment #25 from kipod <[email protected]> ---
i am not sure you understand the precise nature of this request, so let me
elaborate:

what we ask (at least, this is what i asked - see bug 51897, which was marked
as duplicate of this one) is that when the user types "[[", VE will remove the
"[[" from the page, and behave as if the user typed <Ctrl>+K, i.e. open the
"Link" form.

simple and easy, VE already recognizes that the user typed "[[" - all we ask is
that instead of jumping less-than-useful-and-often-out-of-screen popup, VE will
do something good and useful for the community, for society, and for humanity.

in the same way, when the user types "{{", remove it from the page and behave
as if she clicked on the puzzle piece, instead of jumping the less-than-useful
popup.

easy to do, simple, and does not go against any principle in UI design, except
sheer stubbornness of the VE team.

unfortunately i am not able at this time to provide a patch, but 92.24% of the
code is already in place - just find where VE jumps the popup, and do something
useful instead.

peace.
