Allow fading to be switched off #724

Open jskeet opened 9 years ago

Nearly every time I want to add a link to a document, I end up making a mistake. My workflow is that I get the URL in my copy buffer, highlight the relevant text, press Ctrl-L then Ctrl-V.

Unfortunately, stackedit fades up the Hyperlink dialog... and if I press Ctrl-V before it's finished fading up, the keystroke ends up replacing the text in the document instead of adding a link.

While this could be fixed just in terms of the keyboard focus (i.e. accept the text as the link even while it's fading up), the fading serves no purpose for me, and just slows me down. Could we have a setting to turn it off, please?

Any thoughts around this issue? I've just been bitten by it three times in a row, and I can't imagine I'm the only one who can hit Ctrl-V faster than the fade comes up. Little things like this really distract from the flow of writing.
