Link text at end should have link trimmed with space appended

Open yellis opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug In both modes, if you select text that ends in a space and make a link (ctrl-L), the link will include the space. Friendlier is the way that it works in the current editor: if the link text ends with a space, the space is trimmed from the link and appended after the link. Especially pertinent as double clicking a word that has a space after it will normally include the space in the highlighted text.

Applies to any marks, including bold, italics, etc

To Reproduce

  1. Either mode, type in a sentence, double-click a word in the middle of the sentence
  2. Ctrl-L to add a link
  3. Observe: the link includes the space following the word

Expected behavior Link will only be the word, with space included (but not linked) after

Testing in a few other editors, it looks like not that many take this into account. GDocs and GH both include the space as part of the link. Slack does strip the space, but only for links (not other marks). Marking as enhancement instead of bug.
