Feature Req: Deselect notebook name when creating new notebook (to keep date)

Open plan5 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Version 3.9.4.2018 with rM Hacks v0.0.9:

When I create a new notebook, the current date is inserted as the default name (see here https://github.com/mb1986/rm-hacks/issues/5).

However, the text is selected and cannot be deselected and will therefor be overwritten if I give the document a name. It's not possible to append a title to the date.

I can imagine three possible solutions for this, each one would solve the issue on its own:

  1. Inject a right arrow keystroke after the text field was created and populated to deselect
  2. Add arrow keys to the keyboard or some other position during text input
  3. Add gestures for arrow keys

(Btw. I feel a bit demanding, writing my third issue requesting a feature without really being able to give back. It seems to be the modus operandi here for me, though. So I'll drop another thanks for your work here: Thanks for your work!)

You could deselect it by using the Marker instead of your finger, then it works perfectly. Anyway deselecting it automatically would be more user friendly

Oh wow, you've just scratched that unlocateable itch on my back :joy: This totally fixes it for me. I'll leave it open anyway because, as you say, a slightly different implementation might be more user friendly. I imagine being able to do the same with the finger would suffice.
