":" handling in notes / French typography

    • Closed Issue created by Yann Gravrand @yann.gravrand

    Summary

    In French typography, a colon (":") is prefixed by a space.

    i.e:

    Choses à faire :
- Aller chercher du lait
- Revenir

    In a note, when the ":" character is entered after a space, the "atWho" autocomplete pops up.

    It was already a little annoying for French users but has gotten worse since the "Esc" key has been bound to note deletion (it used to close the autocomplete).

    A very realistic scenario follows:

    • The user types a space and a ":"
    • The popup menu... pops up
    • The user wants to dismiss it and, following his/her initial intent, wants to insert a carriage return: hits "Esc" and "Enter"
    • The note is deleted!

    Steps to reproduce

    Type in a note: Bonjour :<esc><enter>

    Expected behavior

    Maybe make the default choice be "Cancel"?

    Or don't fire this dialog if the "atWho" autocomplete is currently shown?

    Actual behavior

    The note disappears

    Possible fixes
