I don't know how exactly google have implemented this text area, but it surely does not behave correct - it I try the same thing in this compose text area, DragIt does not interfere at all. Sorry if this has already been reported, but mozillazine lacks thread search and I could not read through 26 pages...
So, a few suggestions/feature requests related to the above:[/list]
- sometimes it IS useful to be able to use DragIt on text in input fields. Can this be made optional? Or by toggle shortcut (see next one)?
- for various situations, it is useful to be able to bypass temporarily the gestures. There are extensions which have keyboard shortcut that toggles the gesture detection on/off, other use keyboard modifier (Alt/Ctrl/Shift) to do that. Both approaches have pros and cons, either of them would be very nice to have
- finally, another extension (I really don't remember which), has the option to turn off its functionality on certain websites, exactly due to incompatibility caused by the site. Is it too difficult to add this one too?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Sorry for the late answer!
I followed your description and reproduced the behaviour. But I don't yet have a fix for it.
I like your idea of using a modifier key to temporarily disable the gesture detection. The next release will contain such a feature.
By the way, you can already combine gestures with ctrl/alt modifiers:
- Open DragIt's preference dialog.
- Open the 'Gesture' panel.
- Press the column picker.
- Activate 'ctrl-Action' or 'alt-Action'.
- Assign a gesture.
