Clicking is inconsistent in v53

Posted July 2, 2008 by Matthew Crider

Jesse,

You can single-click a tag and it will open a search on that tag. But, if you single-click a file link, it only takes you to the finder; it doesn't open the file. Please change this, so that a single-click on a file hyperlink opens the file. This will make it more consistent within TaskPaper, not to mention making it more consistent with normal hyperlink behavior in other programs, such as web browsers.

Clicking the text of a tag opens a search on the text of that tag.
Clicking a link will open the link (file or hyperlink).
Clicking a project title does nothing.
Instead you have to click the little arrow symbol in front of the title.

I don't have a strong preference, but this behavior is not consistent. One thought would be that you click the @ preceding the text of a tag, that would make editing tags easier, which I think was the rational for adding the arrow before the project title.

Another clicking inconsistency in v53 is that it is no longer possible to option-click a tag to open up a new tab for that search. Although it does work for projects. It would be great if this functionality was reinstated, as I have just upgraded from version 1.0 and this is the thing I miss the most.
