Feature: Automatic Quote splitter
Developer: Nao
Target: users
Status: 100% (complete.)
Comment:

Another simple feature, but it took me ages to fine-tune, mostly because as far as I know, Wedge is the first ever forum system to do this.

When you're replying a post by someone and you want to break up their quoted text into several parts for convenience, you usually have to do some convoluted copying and pasting. Not so with Wedge.

Just put your cursor wherever you want to split the quote, and... press the Shift + Enter key combination (or Ctrl + Enter, your preference.)
That's it, you're done. The quote gets split automatically. Nested tags are taken into account, so you can even split a quoted quote, or right in the middle of a code tag, anything like that which used to be a nightmare before for power users...

It's so easy now, I may have to add a setting to disable this, just in case you miss being upset with all of the manual quote splitting. :eheh:

Let's take this example here, with nested tags:

After pressing Shift+Enter, this becomes:

Well, overall I'm very appreciate of the positive feedback so far :)

I can't wait till we go public and you can all use this!

This is what is missing in SMF :eheh:
Which? This thread is currently talking about two completely different things, and the one that's implemented is IMO better...

Yes, for the umpteenth time, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT. I STILL DISAGREE.

This is still supposed to work right? I can't get my quotes to automatically split on enter.
