Double click for editing a card

[laughedelic]

Hi! First, thanks for this plugin, it's awesome!

I find it a bit inconvenient to use the context menu of the card to reach to the edit button. Would it be possible to trigger card editing by a double click on it?

Thanks @laughedelic! As of yesterday you can now ctrl/cmd + click on the card text to edit cards. Does this work for your use case?

No problem on the duplicate discussion! I'm glad you offered your take on it.

The one downside of double click, and the reason I initially chose not to implement it, is that there are some complications when cards contain links. Eg: you can't double click on a link without it opening. That being said, I'll play around with double clicking and see if I can find a way to implement it that doesn't feel too awkward in these cases.

I see, thanks for the explanation. It's great to know that you've considered it and that your decisions are driven by usability!

@mgmeyers Thanks for bringing to life the idea of this plugin and its development;

I think this thread solve my riddle from here #78

In Obsidian in preview mode control +click is generally used to open a note in new pane, just clicking on wiki link should open the link in pane (or new pane if the note is pinned); this behaviour is different when using the latest kanban plugin, clicking will always open link in new pane

I treat kanban note as pinned master note and I try to use card as task-notes link to standalone card; without possibility to open-in-place wiki -inks soon my obsidian workspace is too crammed with many copies of the same note in different panes;

My temporary solution I would propose is to allow a toggle for users to turn off and on this Ctrl +click behaviour, so users who want standard Obsidian behaviour for opening the links will have a workaround until a better implementation will appear

Another solution, I don't know if this is taken, but maybe Alt/Option + click for editing card?

EDIT: I tried reverting to 0.2.3, but this doesn't solve my problem, both click and Ctrl+click on link elicit the same behaviour (open note in new pane)

[mgmeyers]

@danieltomasz Yeah, there are currently some issues related to links and which pane they open in. I'll be fixing this shortly.

Thank you mgmeyes double click to edit is now available it is very convinient thank you

[mgmeyers]

@laughedelic I've decided to go with double click after all, rather than cmd/ctrl + click. This should work in the latest update.
