QoL fixes

Is the \ when you press Esc intentional?

It switches between the normal mode and the command mode. Replace that with a Esc to escape command mode and Esc to escape the mathfield.

Completed!

That would also make typing `:=[Backspace]` less annoying.

Other than that, it's just that when you type something, it's not at the position of the cursor, but rather quite a bit below.

Yeah, true

Brackets are broken

Uhhh, seems like it.

Typing tan doesn't work. However, typing a*tan works

Typing \tan and then clicking somewhere else results doesn't work

Typing tan doesn't work. However, typing a*tan works

This is probably a result of the first character inputted is not being parsed into the function recognizer. For example: tan does not recognize the expression f [Backspace] tan recognizes tan sin results in s ∈ as in s "in" s [Backspace] sin results in sin

Adding shortcuts[':'] = '\\coloneq' to ExpressionElement.vue would be useful

shortcuts[':'] = {
    mode: 'math',
    value: '\\coloneq',
  }

Your guess is spot on. I investigated this a bit more and apparently, mathlive only calls that in to ∈ logic when receiving keyboard events. (Mathlive has an internal keystroke buffer. It is a somewhat hack-ish way of keeping track of the last few characters, checking if they match something and then replacing it with the something)

Another random issue

If you try to assign a value to pi, and press enter, the cursor will keep on blinking, even if you edit another thing (so you can have multiple cursor blinking at the same time).

Basically, type a[Backspace]pi:3

[phcreery]

Hmm, for some reason I am no seeing this in my instance

[stefnotch]

Okay, odd, I'm also struggling to reproduce this. I suppose it's worth keeping out an eye for.

Another piece of feedback I got

a small nit in Quantumsheets: the input boxes capture my scroll events, so if my mouse is somewhere in the doc and I scroll down and intersect one, it stops

I pushed a little hack/workaround for this 71e1cbdb096da4a56c158392917f88d325967d8e We should eventually find a proper fix/report this on the mathlive repository/submit a pull request for a "insert a letter as if the user typed it" function over there

That issue has been reported at https://github.com/arnog/mathlive/issues/1146 For now I'm locally fixing mathlive before deploying it.

Alright, I also fixed the feedback about the escape to exit the mathfield.

Let's close this issue, since this issue is pretty much all fixed. If we encounter more such little quality of life issues, we can open new ones
