Adding plus

[willzeng]

It is now possible to use the + connector in the addnode to connect with nodes that are hidden from the workspace and to make new nodes that are automatically connected to.

@davidfurlong give it a check over for bugs. I think a code review might also find some ways to simplify the implementation before merge.

[davidfurlong]

this isn't working properly.

[davidfurlong]

1. can't have a node title with a space
2. goes wrong sometimes

[willzeng]

I don't know of any good workaround for number 1. This is something I just think we'll be unable to support for now.

Can you replicate when it goes wrong?

[davidfurlong]

Yeah. I put "David Furlong" off the workspace. I add a new node and do +David Furl and hit autocomplete it. It pulls the node onto the workspace and when I create the new node it creates it to a new node called "David" and connects to that instead.

ahhh got it. I know how to fix that behavior. I just need to prioritize for existing multiwords of that kind.

Will do.

I really think we should make sure that the quality of the stuff we add is high. We should definitely have the text show up blue if it is part of a tag or reference inside of the textarea. That way we can do multi word adds in the text area too (by having you have to click outside of the blue area or press tab or something)

[willzeng]

shoot actually I see your point. I'm not sure what a slick way to fix this edge case is. We can leave it out for now and I'll thinking about it tomorrow morning. Perhaps the coloring things wouldn't take as long as I think.
