Summary | 0015724: make the unlink tool a single click one | ||||
Description | currently, the unlink tool is only active when at least a text frame is selected. for the action to take place, one need to click on a second frame. i did not test the behavior when multiple text frame are selected but it's a rather awkward situation. i suggest that the behavior to be changed in the following way: - the tool is inactive when no text frame is selected - when one single text frame is selected, the link to the next frame is removed (if any) - when multiple text frames are selected, the link between the selected frames are removed | ||||

we could even keep it enabled when no item is selected and it will unlink the next tool you click on from its next item. |
|
if multiple text frame are seleted, enabling the tool could simply link all the selected items, starting from top left. |
|
Having several behavior for the same tool is cool for powerusers, but less for the other that may not understand when a behavior is applied and when another, giving the feeling of random unlinking. And since nobody reads the docs anymore… Wouldn’t it be better to use keyboard modifiers on click, for example : select the unlink tool click on a frame to unlink this frame and the previous click + Ctrl to unlink with the next Shift could apply the same with cut text functionnality |
