I've already commented on the bug and in Gerrit, but I will also echo here.
First off, thank you for taking the time to work on VisualEditor, and even submitting a patch directly into Gerrit. We hope to get more patches this way. In this particular case, the solution being offered isn't going to work out for some UX and technical reasons. Specifically that the contents of a link are not limited to plain text, so editing them as such will remove all non-text content when the user was only trying to change the link. The user already has a way to modify the display content of the link, and if there are bugs to do with their ability to do that, they should be resolved without introducing a secondary and more limited editing affordance. - Trevor On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 8:00 AM, Jiabao Wu <jiabao.f...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I am trying to fix bug 48489 - Can not paste new link anchor for > VisualEditor. > https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48489 > > I have been able to add the functionality to the link inspector to > edit the displayed text. > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64055/ > > I have not worked on the appearance of the interface.
