--- Comment #8 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> --- Created attachment 107969 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=107969&action=edit Patch: pre-select text when entering edit mode via click After some discussion on Phabricator, I'm afraid this has to be a WONTFIX. Here are the reasons: 1. Many modern web browsers like Firefox actually *don't* pre-select the text when you click on the URL bar, and only do it when you hit ctrl-L. The URL navigator already behaves this way, so we would be reducing consistency with those web browsers, not increasing it. 2. The feature is already implemented via the "Replace Location" menu item with shortcut ctrl-L; if you want to completely replace the URL bar location, just use that, via the menu or keyboard shortcut, instead of clicking on the URL bar. 3. By entirely removing the option to edit without pre-selecting, this would impair use cases when you just want to edit a bit of the path and not completely replace it. That said, for anyone who really really wants this feature, I'm attaching a patch to KIO that makes it behave this way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
