| Summary | 0006019: Behaviour of selected regions after splitting should be configurable | ||||
| Description | Following a great deal of discussion on IRC and email, it seems that there's no single behaviour of what the subsequent selection should be when selected regions are split that's acceptable to everyone. Thus, despite that there there are arguably already too many config options, a new one appears to be the only universally acceptable solution. There are several possible behaviours that we might want to be able to select between, relating to both the newly-created regions and other selected regions, viz: Of the regions newly-created by the split, the selection afterwards should include: (1) neither region (2) the region to the right of the split (3) the region to the left of the split (4) both regions Other regions selected before the split operation but unaffected by it should: (a) be deselected (b) remain selected There are thus eight possibilities. I personally see (1a) as being the most useful, and feel that (1b) is probably completely useless. Others definitely want some variant on (4), but since this is not a mode I'd use, I don't know whether (4a) or (4b) would be more useful, or whether offering the choice of one or the other would be worthwhile. Also, would anybody ever need either variant of (2) or (3)? | ||||
| Additional Information | I propose to implement this config option based on whatever anyone finds useful: I'd love to keep the number of options to a minimum (although definitely including (1a)), but can anyone who sees a need for any other of the eight modes above please add a comment here, and I'll add it to the possible choices. | ||||
