Description
The workflow for approving and then immediately replying to a comment has a shortcut in WordPress, but it's not obvious. If you don't know about it, you can waste time and effort switching between the pending and approved views on the comment moderation screen after approving a comment and then wanting to reply to it.
The Reply
link on a pending comment is actually a shortcut for approving and then replying to a comment. The Reply
link text should be updated to Approve and Reply
to reflect this and make comment moderation a more enjoyable process.

- Keywords needs-patch added; has-patch removed
Thanks for the patch @sanket.parmar but the issue is more complex than this.
- The link text only needs to change for unapproved comments. The behaviour of replying to an approved comment doesn't change.
- The link text needs to be aware of AJAX actions. For an unapproved comment that gets approved, the link text needs to change from
Approve and Reply
toReply
, and vice versa. This will need some JavaScript work.

Approve and Reply
is not changing to Reply
with the ajax action when you approve and reply to a comment.
¿What about take a new approach and creating a brand new action for approve and reply instead of reusing the reply one?

Replying to frantorres:
I noticed my approach would not be valid because makes functional duplicity. Let's move on with @sanket.parmar approach.
@johnbillion
Would front-end moderation on comments for say admin user roles, ever be an option?
