backtick insertion within current selected text, includes trailling whitespaces #4420

• the double-clicked word get selected (including the trailling whitespace behind the word)

This might be a Windows-specific issue because I don't see it on macOS

• the backtick-key and refined github will sorround the selected word with backticks (including trailing whitespace)

And this is a bug how? 😃

If you select hello, you're asking the browser to wrap hello, not just hello. Doing otherwise would be wrong, I don't think most editors would try to be "smart" about that.

Here's how it works in my Chrome, including when using the GitHub-native Bold shortcut:

I feel refined github could take this chrome/firefox windows glitches into account and trim the trailing spaces before sorrounding the selection with backticks

your recording looks like how I would expect it to work.

I can totally see, that this actually should be considered a browser bug, but I hoped for a fix in refined github, because then the fix would reach the enduser way faster then a browser fix.

maybe its even a windows problem, because it also happens in word etc. (which renders it even less likely to be fixed)

Selecting the trailing whitespace appears to be a Windows behavior; Wrapping the exact selection is universal: Not a Refined GitHub problem, not GitHub’s, not Chrome’s, not Windows’.

I think you're referring to the word selection, because that's the only different part — and Refined GitHub can't change that.

hm ok, when its not fixable we can close here.

thx for the insights.

You were onto something here! There's an exception: \n

This feature however is handled by https://github.com/fregante/text-field-edit so any changes should be pushed to that repo. It's a little tricky because this changes the selection as well.
