Ctrl + t

[eponette]

Weird behaviour. I don't know if it is a bug or not

I have a snippet with an attache DM direction (on top of it, attached, with a thin line around both)

When I do a Ctrl + T, I have a new line AND a new GM Direction

When I use the menu (Add Snippet below | Text), I have only the text (without the DM Direction). But beside this menu, it says 'Ctrl + T'. Hence it should work the same way. But it doesn't

Using <ctrl+T> creates a new text snippet with the same characteristics as the current one, unless you aren't currently within a text snippet. The assumption is that you're going to create more of the same thing, which is generally what users will be doing. If you decide you want something different, you can use the <ctrl+D> and <ctrl+G> keystrokes to change the snippet behavior.

One alternative to this would be to have lots more different keystrokes for the different combinations. Another would be to require users to perform more keystrokes to get another snippet just like the one they're currently entering. Neither of those seemed like a good choice.

So the behavior of <ctrl+T> intentionally varies, depending on the snippet you're in when you press the keystroke. As such, it matches the menu option sometimes and does not match it at other times. But if we omitted it from the menus to avoid that consideration, then nobody would ever discover it, which is kind of pointless.

That's why it behaves the way it does.

OK, Perfect. It is not a bug. And I understand perfectly.

Thanks
