Public meeting note of Oct 22nd, 2013

« previous week | index | next week »

NOTE
Nothing is committed until it lands in a release :) .

These are the features mainly driven by the Taipei teams, in co-optations with other teams in Taipei and around the world. We are not meant to take all the credit :)


Cursor management / Selection / Copy-paste

Enabling user to move caret and select text easily, optionally enable copy and paste.

  • UX: Carrie
  • Status (updated: 2013-10-22):
    • Phoebe and SC are looking at how to draw caret handle from Gecko. They are thinking to paint the caret handle in nsCaret::PaintCaret() because this is the place we draw the caret. However, this approach might be harder for customization since the draw option is mostly hard-coded in C++.
