[xwiki-users] [VOTE] [wysiwyg] Displaying the macro id and searching for it in the wysiwyg insert macro wizard
Hi all, I wanted to insert a macro in a page using the wysiwyg and I noticed that the macros filter (search box on top right) is not searching in the macro ids. For example, if I try to write "toc" I get no results. If I write "table" I get the "Table of contents" macro as result, since its name matches. I found this a bit annoying in my case, since i know the macroid (if I were to write it in the wiki syntax) and I cannot find the macro (still, I'm using the wysiwyg because I can never remember macro params). Also, I use the search function because it's far easier to filter it out then scroll for it in the list. WDYT about searching in the macro ids as well? (1) Also, the macro id is not displayed. This is good for simple users for which it has no meaning, but there can be a situation when 2 macros have the same name and same description (e.g. void description) and users would want to be able to differentiate one from the other in the macros list, even the simple users, I would say (for example because they always want to use one macro of the 2 and they can never tell one from the other only by name). WDYT about displaying the macro is as well? (2) of course pretty small and greyed out, like some advanced metadata. Marius said it's no big deal to implement neither, as long as we agree. My +1 for both (1) and (2). Thanks, Anca

+1 for (1), it could not really hurt and +1 for (2) in tooltips but close to (-1) for (2) displayed in small since I agree with Marius Denis On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 14:44, Anca Luca <[email protected]> wrote:
