--- Quote from: Ian.M on October 24, 2024, 07:42:30 am ---It takes far far less time to type [ u r l ] ctrl-V [ / u r l ] or [ u r l = ctrl-V ] whatever text [ / u r l ] than it does to mouse about a web form filling in text boxes. --- End quote --- Hmm, I don't know about that. Either I suck at typing, or you are really clumsy with a mouse. ;) Well, it might have to do with the German keyboard which forces me to use Shift for the slash and Alt-Gr for the square brackets. Typing out those tags is a nuisance; I do prefer to use the buttons to generate them. |

[ quote] more tedious, especially without a keyboard. --- End quote --- That other forum I belong to (MASM32) has buttons in the reply panel for [tt] -- [/tt], [code] -- [/code] and [quote] -- [/quote]. Hey, this is 2024, not 1985! --- End quote --- This forum certainly has all those buttons too. --- End quote --- But the "wrong way round". I don't know how I manage to cope. |

I started out with plain English/ASCII keyboards on my first computers, since they were the only option available. Much more convenient for programming; you also get <> without finger acrobatics. But for writing German text, those umlaut keys are kind of important... So we get to pay the price for the quirks in our spelling. ::) |

I'd rather have https://www.eevblog.com/forum/news/nicer-way-to-add-urls-to-a-post/ than Silly Thread y'kno'wha'I'mean? --- End quote --- Doesn't your browser show the actual URL when you hover the pointer over it? If not, 'nice' links on this forum might be the least of your worries. |
