Unlink...is there a way?

[broni]

Unless I'm missing something...

Let's say in some topic I want to address two people. To avoid misspelling their names I copy their names from their user panes. Those copy as hot links

Then I want to write this:

@ Storyteller and CodingJungle

I did put it in codebox because if I paste those names normally two things happen:

1. Both names are hotlinked and I want just plain text (typing letter by letter is the only other option?)

2. After pasting "Storyteller" and can't add "and" because pressing "space" and trying to type anything will keep extending Storyteller hotlink like this:

You will need to paste as "plaint text" if you are using chrome. you can also have it set by default. click on the cog icon on the toolbar, you can select "paste as plain text by default".

I see. Paste as plain text works.

Thanks

It was more obvious with older CKEditor where there was "unlink" tool.

I'm not sure which made the change. the CKE in IPS 3.x was heavily modified, this one is more or less what you can grab from cke's site.

unlink is also in this ckeditor - unfortunately it's not enabled in the config that IPS uses.

Request to IPS: please could you add 'unlink' into the default configuration files for CKEditor (it's not a plugin so can't be added by us, and hacking away at the config isn't pretty)

Also - double click the linked text in the editor, and 'remove link' - I've only just found you can double click on stuff in the editor and bring up dialogue boxes - try it on images, you can change size, positioning...

Well, ignore my request for unlink to go in there in that case. The double click -> remove link method is fine by me.

Makes me wonder what other functions are hanging around - I only found this by mistake, and I'd say it's pretty counter-intuitive - you right click for this kind of stuff, not double-click.

The unlink button was handy and intuitive but you can also click the link button itself and remove the link. The link button always brings up the link properties, as before.

Thanks guys for posting those options
