How do I add new content for editing ? about contenttools HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi @alexandrubau, You can add new content to any area you've marked up as editable in your template, are you looking at how you might create a new page? Or are you thinking about how you might add a new editable region to a page?

If you referring to adding new content within an existing editable area then: To add a new paragrapth you can just hit the return key when an existing text element is selected (pressing enter in the middle of the text will split it so if you want it to be new position the caret at the start or end of the paragraph).

If you want to add a heading then create a new paragraph as above and use the (H)eading tool in the floating toolbox to convert the paragraph to a heading.

Thank you very much @anthonyjb for your help.

I was referring to "If you referring to adding new content within an existing editable area".

I have noticed that holding the shift key doesn't show the pulsating border. I've tried with the left shift, with the right shift, and nothing. I'm using Windows.

Thanks

@alexandrubau could you tell me what browser and version you're using?

from contenttools.

I am using Google Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 m
How many seconds should I keep the shift key pressed ? I've hold it for about 10 seconds for each of the shift keys.

+1 for this, I'm not seeing the pulse for editable regions either in Windows 10 Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 m

from contenttools.

The time required to trigger the pulse is set using the ContentTools.HIGHLIGHT_HOLD_DURATION option, it defaults to 2 seconds.

I'm using Version 45.0.2454.85 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) and it's working on the demo page of the site (for me). Are you both seeing the issue on the demo page? Can you let me know what OS you're using in case it's an issue with the key events? @ahallicks @alexandrubau

Thanks in advance 👍

Reported to me so far. Looking like an issue specific to windows.

Yeah, Chrome and Firefox don't work for me on Windows 10. However, the function that does the highlighting is being called. I added a console log in the script on my test site and it logged but the classes that do the highlighting don't get added.

@ahallicks thanks that's really helpful - I don't have a windows box here but that gives me a starting point to look at.

So I finally got a chance to use a few Windows machines today to try to track this bug down, I'd used browserstack to try initially but couldn't reproduce the bug on any version of windows, but today I managed to and after a few console.log statements here's what I found:

Some of the Windows machines (all Windows 8.1 but it's possible this is happening on eaelier/later version too) fire repeated key up/down events when you hold the shift key down, so because there's a time delay that checks to see if the key is being held down the timeout triggering the highlight action is cancelled because of the repeated key up/down event - so it never gets called.

It looks like FF has an event property to detect this (KeyboardEvent.repeat) but I'm not sure about other browsers yet so I'll experiment a bit more and if I can find a clean solution).

I suspect this may well be occurring on other OSs and browsers.
