Description

Just a minor annoyance. Certain things are inherently different about using a Mac over any other Operating system. Specific to my case is keymappings. While I suspect most Mac users are smart enough to read "Ctrl + A" and translate that to "CMD + A", we should be explicit when we can.

This patch inrtroduces pluggable function is_osx() that is really basic. Sadly, relies on User Agents and so is inherently flawed, but mainly useful anyway.

Using this function, the Permalinks Options screen uses Command A instead of CTRL A when .htaccess is not writable.

A little thing but annoying enough to warrant a patch.

You're right though. It does need to be return false;

Nice catch.

Ideally we should just eliminate this instruction and select all the moment they click into the textarea. People know how to copy, we shouldn't need to instruct them.

On TinyMCE's keyboard shortcuts popup, we actually already do browser detection to figure out which shortcuts to show, if I recall correctly.

#2 @technosailor

I'm okay removing the pluggable function and approaching from a JS perspective, though half of me suspects that having an API call for Operating System detection is still useful.

#3 @technosailor

New patch avoids the pluggable function and fixes just the permalinks options screen. It removes the Cmd/Ctrl text altogethewr and includes a jQuery routine for selecting all when clicking in the texarea.

  • Component changed from Text Changes to Permalinks
  • Keywords 3.7-early added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

Looks good. Could you explain the return;? Was that meant to be a return false; (as in stopping propagation and default actions) or?

#5 @technosailor

I had it as return false in my code but changed it to just return to match syntax in the previous code block.

It works around a bug in Chrome where mouseup is fired and deselects the textarea. I short circuit that bug by unbinding the mouseup event and preventing further events on that textarea.

Minor thing, enhancement punting time. Also: adding pluggable functions seems like a bad idea - filter would be better.

Replying to nacin:

On TinyMCE's keyboard shortcuts popup, we actually already do browser detection to figure out which shortcuts to show, if I recall correctly.

We (also?) need to do this for the formatting toolbar button title attributes. The buttons which say ctrl+ should say cmd+.

#9 @technosailor

Any way we can get this in for 4.1? Really needing that is_osx() function :)
