[Feature]: Make it possible to view details of a shortened URL

[XLTechie]

Problem

Currently, when viewing the list of already shortened URLs, it is only possible to view the name/description of the URL. Sometimes, if one has forgotten the custom URL for example, it would be nice to view the entire record.

Suggestion

It is suggested to add a "view details" button, which opens a Window showing read-only field versions of the fields used when creating a URL. That is:

• The name,
• the actual URL that has been shortened, and
• the custom URL or shortened version of the URL.

Alternatives

A gui.message>Box with ok and information icon can be used. I"ll create a pr probably tomorrow. Enviado desde mi iPhoneEl 24 jun 2023, a las 9:03, Luke Davis @.***> escribió: Problem Currently, when viewing the list of already shortened URLs, it is only possible to view the name/description of the URL.

Thank you for your consideration.

Keep in mind that gui.messageBox (really gui.message.messageBox) is only supposed to be used for modal messages that will prevent things like NVDA exit if they are not resolved. That seems overkill for this.

In fact I prefer to use a multiline edit box, but for some reason I thought that you would prefer a gui.messageBox control. Let's use a readonly edit control like I did in placeMarkers. I'll look also the control used on the store.

I hope soon to have a modeless message box available in NVDA, if NV Access approves some work I have in an upcoming PR.

But my own business schedule has interrupted getting that done before the end of next month.

I think you remember me telling Sean I didn't like the multi line controls for the description in the add-on store. In fact the issue there is that they were not read all at once, which I thought users would expect in that situation. But I don't think users would have that expectation here.

Really any control you think would fit best would be fine in my opinion, just not gui.messageBox because too much NVDA internal nonsense is wrapped around it.

Yes, in fact I remember your opinion about the descriptions in the store. I created a pr for this issue, to be merged soon.Enviado desde mi iPhoneEl 26 jun 2023, a las 10:40, Luke Davis @.***> escribió:

Thanks! I have not looked yet, but I'm sure it is good.
