Marked text not substituted for `%text%` when activated via a shortcut key

Open dadooda opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Conditions:

  • Format item Text: URL = %text%: %url%, set as default.
  • Shortcut key is Ctrl+Shift+U.
  • We're standing on a page having the title "The title".
  • A fragment of text is selected, namely "Selected text".

Steps to reproduce:

  1. We use the extension via a mouse click: "Text: URL". Result: "Selected text: [url]" -- OK.
  2. We use the extension via a shortcut. Result: "The title: [url]" -- NOT OK.

Cheers!

I noticed this as well. It's unfortunate, but I'm not impacted enough to work on a fix. https://github.com/ku/CreateLink/pull/20 first introduced the keyboard shortcut (followed up by some minor tweaks, so anyone interested in taking on this fix might want to start there.

I'm so sorry for being not aware this issue is created for long time. I'll look into it this week and fix it.

This would be a good extension for copying code from stackoverflow and posting into a local editor witch ctrl-c as the shortcut if this were fixed.
