Question about hyperlink detectors [message #326071] Thu, 06 March 2008 23:13 Go to next message

With the hyperlink detectors extension...what happens in the UI when two
(or more) hyperlink detectors respond to a single hyperlink?

For example, if an http url is in a text editor, the eclipse detector
will activate, but what happens when the user holds down ctrl and points
to the url if another plugin also responds to http urls? Is there some
way for the user to choose between them?

Thanksinadvance for any info.

In 3.3 the user can choose different modifiers. In 3.4 (new since this
week) the user gets a little window where he can choose.

I guess I don't understand what the UI is for 'choose different
modifiers'. Is there a snapshot on wiki somewhere?

Cool. So is this in M5...or new for M6?

And just so I know...when the user holds down ctrl and hovers over the
link, the little window pops up?...with multiple URLs...presented as a list?

Thanks!

Yes, but the user can still just click to go to the first link i.e. no
need to go to the window if not needed.
