Make it more difficult to accidentally edit a note #212

Closed Stebalien closed 7 years ago

Stebalien commented 10 years ago

It's too easy to accidentally start editing a note (especially when clicking off another note). Maybe require a double click to edit? This should also make #49 fixable.

Amy:

Hm well I think what happens is: I am clicking around and accidentally or on purpose click the text of one of the notes. (for ex I am in the text box, or i've finished editing another note, but now want to get out of it so I click somewhere else in the notes area, accidentally clicking on text). So now I'm accidentally in writing mode, and now even if I try to drag any other note, I can't - it just highlights the text.

Whether or not we do this, there should be an easy way to undo an accidental delete (e.g. ctrl-z) On 10/16/2013 12:25 AM, Steven Allen wrote:

Delete of a note? ctrl-z will undo a change in a note but we currently don't have an easy way to undo an entire delete.

Which reminds me, we still need to implement a recycle bin (we save deleted notes but there is no way to restore them). https://github.com/haystack/listit/issues/213

Closing in favor of #251. Notes are now always editable (fixes #49).
