Inserting the quote of selected text as a reply is a useful feature, but appearance of the button typically used for this is annoying for selection readers, so one can opt-out it in preferences.
But how do I use “quote reply” feature without this button? Pressing “Reply” button at the bottom of the post opens empty reply without a quote. Clicking “Blockquote (Ctrl+Shift+9)” on toolbar does nothing.
I think “Blockquote” should mean “Quote reply” (i.e. insert quotation based on selected text above) when no text in the text area is selected.
Thanks, I haven’t noticed it. It requires to manually remove the excessive test and editing out full: true (what is it for BTW? for expand/collapse) although.
Still I feel that should be some way to properly quote reply having the button floating every time. Maybe the floating button can be shown only when replying form at the bottom is open or “Post draft in progress. Select to resume” mode, but when I just read threads?
Works fine for me here. I think if you enable that “I like to randomly select text because I am insane” user preference, it disables all forms of select replying.
(I sometimes “select” things using pencil even when reading from paper)
Has this option basically appeared “under pressure” and was implemented not by somebody who is a “selection reader” themself? No wonder the effect is so crude…
