Re: Split quote button

just highlight the quote

Or quote the entire thing and just remove the rest. Would take longer though.

So it's a useless suggestion? You just proved yourself that it's already possible.

Possible doesn't mean it can't be made automated/easier.

Well how are you gonna select that it quotes a certain part? Highlighting it and then pressing the split quote button?

ed/easier.

Like that where I just highlighted the part of your message that said ed/easier. And pressed quote.

See, you already quoted someone and currently edit your post. If you have 7 different points and I quoted you and am already editing it, there should be a fast way to split your quote into two parts.

Re: Split quote button

You can just type a message, highlight the part you want to quote after you typed it. (Like so:)

If you have 7 different points and I quoted you and am already editing it, there should be a fast way to split your quote into two parts.

Here I took a part by highlighting it and it shows that you quoted it and only the text I quoted, after I already edited my message. Now I can click quote again to quote your post or I can highlight and then quote.

you already quoted someone and currently edit your post.

Hey look I already quoted you and I'm editing my post. It literally took me like 10 seconds to put that last quote and this includes scrolling, highlighting, clicking quote and scrolling back down. Probably took a bit less.

there should be a fast way to split your quote into two parts.

I just did, this took me 10 seconds or less aswell. Now tell me, how can you inprove this? Literally all the time I lost to quote you is actually clicking quote, which will still have to happen anyways.

No. Try selecting:

this part OF The TeXt

And find me any formatting or the quote in your post

Edit: Oh I see, so it puts the text including color, bold, italics, strikethrough, underline etc.

Exactly. As this feature is broken and it’s “too hard” to fix I am suggesting a compromise feature for diff which is easier to make.
