[improvement] Tab Enter for replies

[kmount]

I miss being able to press tab and then enter to post.

[FN-GM]

Works ok with me (infact thats how i posted this message)

 

I am using IE9

[kmount]

Could be firefox 3.6.scum or linux, or the phase of the moon as my number pad has decided it's not going to work anymore.

 

If it's not happening for anyone else consider it PEBKAC and I'll go sit under a rock.

Tab doesn't work on Chrome 12 in Windows either.

It does for me in Beta level. 3 hits of the tab and its selected the post quick reply button.

 

FF 3.6 is a possible cause of issues, there are mixed reports on vbulletin tracker.

Yeah, It works for me also 3 hits on the Tab Key and then Enter. I am using Windows 7 and FF 4.0.1

Tabs don't work for me on FF4.0.1

[ZeroHour]

Tabs work for me in FF 4.01 but the outline effect is not very clear in FF but 3 tabs and its highlighted the "Post Quick Reply" button

I am unable to tab for reply on Chrome and IE9. I have done flushed my cache etc but no luck.

[ZeroHour]

From IE9, again it doesnt seem to show its tabbed to the first 2 boxes (I have an extra box under "Show your signature" to close the thread) but after 3 tab keys the PQR button is highlighted.

Try hitting tab twice and see if it appears there.

[kmount]

Afraid not for me.

 

The tab isn't actually being picked up in my case as the cursor remains in the text box?

Works in 13

For those having issues:

Can you go to: Demo | CKEditor and see if tab works there, it should highlight the link beneath the editor.

[kmount]

Yup, opened up the link in a tab.

[webman]

Yes, tab works correctly in that demo, still on Chrome 12/Win 7. No amount of pressing tab moves the cursor out of the box.

 

I wouldn't mind it if there was another shortcut to post the reply

I'd be happy with something else too.

I think that Alt-S hits the submit button but that only seems to work in IE, does not work in Firefox at all, well not for the past two or so versions.

Opens History Menu in FF, or does for me as I have a menu bar instead of there weird incarnation of the MS Office theme?!

[webman]

OK, so pressing Alt + S in Chrome 12 appears to submit it.

[kmount]

Point to note, the report post function still works ok with tab + enter.

[ZeroHour]

I have not forgotten about this issue, there appears to be weird issues with FF (esp <4.01) which are supposed to be fixed in 4.1.5 but its all a bit unspecific right now. I cant recreate the chrome issue, webman what OS are you having the problem on?

 

Cheers

[RabbieBurns]

tab+enter works OK for me in FF5 It brings me to this quick reply box.

 

PS. Thanks for the heads up on this @kmount, i didnt even realise the shortcut existed

[kmount]

Issue persists in Firefox 5.0 here.

Issue persists in Firefox 5.0 here.

 

Which OS? just so I can test from here.

[kmount]

Using Linux Mint 11 x64.

 

Was on Firefox 3 before (Linux Mint 10 uses that), upgraded from 10>11 via aptitude (which was fun and not like you'd think from a debian background) which brought in new firefox and it still does it I'm afraid.
