Description

When you make a link you are forced to write the text in the editor and select the text before the link button is usable. I have seen users fail to understad this and getting stuck at creating links.

It might be better if the link button was enabled as default and if no text was selected a textfield with the link text appeared in the insert/edit link.

Another alternative is that the link text textfield (just mentioned) is visible all times but if text is selected it's written there by default. Otherwise it's left blank.

This works better now: if no text is selected, an empty link is inserted. The user can add the linked text after.
