Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Creating complex lists with the new WYSIWYG editor

Hi there, Right now the new WYSIWYG editor allows us to create simple lists like the following: ----------8<---------- * plants * animals ** invertebrates ** vertebrates ---------->8---------- By pressing just Enter when the caret is inside a list item we create a new list item. This is the basic mechanism. It's simple and it should remain so. If I want to make the previous list a bit more complex: ----------8<---------- * (((= Plants = Plants are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae.))) * (((= Animals = Animals are a major group of mostly multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. They are divided into:))) ** (((== Invertebrates == An invertebrate is an animal lacking a vertebral column.))) ** (((== Vertebrates == Vertebrates are members of the subphylum Vertebrata, chordates with backbones or spinal columns.))) ---------->8---------- I have to be able to insert new lines inside a list item using the Enter key but without creating a new list item. Let's consider the following state: ----------8<---------- * (((= Plants =))) ---------->8---------- We have a level 1 heading inside a list item. The caret is inside the heading, at the end. Pressing Enter can have the following three outcomes: 1. Continue editing in the heading, but on a new line: ----------8<---------- * (((= Title 1 x =))) ---------->8---------- 2. Continue editing in the same list item but after the heading, in a paragraph: ----------8<---------- * (((= Title 1 = x))) ---------->8---------- 3. Create a new list item: ----------8<---------- * (((= Title 1 =))) * x ---------->8---------- For the first outcome I think we all agree that the user has to press Shift+Enter. For the second and third outcomes I see two options: A) Enter for 2 and CTRL/META+Enter for 3 B) Enter for 3 and CTRL/META+Enter for 2 (if you see any other options please step up) I'm +1 for A) for the following reason: if the user has inserted a heading in a list item then he will surely want to add more content after that heading, thus pressing just Enter is the natural way of doing this. From a technical POV the caret is first inside a heading and then inside a list item so the heading should have the priority of handling the Enter key. NOTE: Choosing A) or B) doesn't affect the way simple lists are created, which is using just Enter. Please cast your votes and sorry for the long mail, Marius _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
