| Since upgrading to TB 24.0, Quicktext adds a superfluous tab character after the inserted text whenever I type a shortcut and then hit <TAB>. This did not happen with earlier version of TB. |
| I can confirm this bug. TB 24, OS X 10.8.5. |
| The same here. Would appreciate a soon fix very much. |
| Same thing here. TB 24, OSX 10.8.5, Quicktext 0.9.11.5 |
| Can we expect a fix soon? The bug is really annoying in day-to-day usage. |
| This bug affects me to (TB 24.0.1, Windows XP). I've been using QuickText in every email I write for a very long time, so having become a habit I can't easily break, this extra TAB character is well beyond annoying for me. |
| Same bug here (Win 7, TB24.0.1). Please fix soon! Thanks!! |
Can confirm this too.
I think the base problem is that QuickText doesn't "swallow" the shortcut key upon doing its action, so that TB "executes" it too.
Pressing a tab inserts a tab. When setting ther shortcut to Ctrl+Tab, QuickText evaluates it and does it part, but then also a tab gets switched (which is the normal behavior on Ctrl+Tab).
So QuickText should inhibit the normal functionality of the chosen key upon doing its replacement (again).
As a workaround, I have set the shortcu to Ctrl+Space now, which is relatively harmless when being "forgotten" in the queue.
Anyhoo - thanks for this great extension! |

| Is Emil Hesslow reading this thread? |
| Is anything happening at all regarding this issue? I even emailed Emil Hesslow, but no reaction. |
| Sad to hear that, but thanks for the info. Does anybody know of any extension for Thunderbird like this one in case Emil Hesslow would no longer release updates? |
As Emil still sells the Pro version, I would hope, this extension is still active.
Emil Hesslow, where are you? |
Hi folks -- I've tried hacking the add on to fix this problem. It seems to have worked. No promises made about what else I broke; the good news is that a one line fix seems to have done it. Your mileage may vary, no warranties or promises. http://www.cs.carleton.edu/faculty/dmusican/quicktext_0.9.11.5_1drm.xpi
Hopefully this points Emil to the fix he needs so he can put out a proper release! |
Here is workaround.
Tested with TB 24.1.0 and Quicktext 0.9.11.5 on Windows XP.
0. Close TB.
1. Find XPI file of installed Quicktext - in "%APPDATA%"ThunderbirdProfiles{profile name}extensions, file size is about 73644 bytes.
2. Open XPI file with any tool capable to open and re-pack XPI. I prefer Total Commander Ctrl+Pg Dn.
3. Open chromecontentquicktext.js with text editor.
4. Replace all e.preventBubble() with e.stopPropagation().
5. Replace aEditor.deleteSelection(0) with aEditor.deleteSelection(0, 0).
6. Close editor. Allow your XPI tool to update and re-pack XPI file.
7. Start TB. Enjoy the Quicktext!
I hope Emil will release next version of Quicktext with this patch.

| Excellent, Mk1_; that's a more comprehensive patch than the one I did. |
| Thank you both guys! As a BFU, I rather chose installing the modified XPI :-) Can confirm working under TB 24.0.1, XP 32bit, CZ version. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! |
Long live Mk1_, muchos gracias, mockrát děkujeme!
Confirmed, patch works for me in TB 24.1.1 EN on Windows 7 Prof DE.
As for Total Commander, I prefer Ctrl+RightArrow to open the archive in the opposite pane, didn't know Ctrl+PgDn though - one more thanks :) |
