Nope. Without examples there's nothing for anyone.

My fault, I didn't try to copy! I can still select, but sorry for not checking if copy is possible! From your other reply I noticed this! But yeah, HN isn't the best in this regard :) Maybe dang will one day consider changing to &

You provided an example with anchors. In your original post you say "But stuff like tab headers, buttons, or even text-sparse tiles - things meant for the user to click on - can, and usually should, prevent text selection" and you

You can copy <button>Text</button> in some browsers, but not when it's in <input text="Text">.

I asked "Do you have an example of a website where selectable text makes keyboard navigation not possible" and you provided an website with non-selectable text.

You can do better than doing personal attacks. The article is not advocating for breaking anything. And unlike me you haven't provided a single example so far, only workarounds for people who don't like your suggestions.

A native Chinese high school graduate is generally expected to know around 3500 characters. A middle school student, 2500-3000. For Kanji the numbers are around 2136 and 1200 and respectively. If you know the language, then you don't n

The article doesn't have selectable text.

You are the one saying it breaks keyboard usage, and still haven't given an example of why and how.
702.
by whstl 1y ago
And you still haven't explained why normal-selectable websites like HN itself are bad for keyboard users.

Nope. I am saying the web should work the way it is, like Hacker News does, as I already have brought up elsewhere. You are saying "tab headers, buttons, or even text-sparse tiles [...] should, prevent text selection". The article

Depends. Sometimes I know the language partially, sometimes I can move around using pure context, and other times translation is possible in most pages. Disabling selection in non-textual parts of websites is unfortunately something that ha

Sure, I had one recently. There is a certain page of one of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit websites that doesn't play well with automatic translation. I speak B2 level German, but even then some of the technical terms are still complicat

Then I don't think the article is advocating for what you think it is. You are saying "tab headers, buttons, or even text-sparse tiles [...] should, prevent text selection". The website is advocating for not disabling selecti

I already asked below, how and where does it break? Hacker News is fully selectable, and still fully useable with the keyboard. > it's not that onerous to type it. Yes it is, if I don't even know what the letters are. Not eve

by whstl 1y ago
What's that behavior? Do you have an example of a website where selectable text makes keyboard navigation not possible? Could this be a browser problem? I can tab between links here in HN and it's perfectly also selectable.
709.
by whstl 1y ago
100% disagree. Not everyone is fluent in every language, and not every website works perfectly with the browser's translator. There will be situations where people will want to translate that ONE word that is actually in a button or ta

There are more than two paths. The older leftist path was that taking refugees was the moral thing to do, but taking immigrants to do cheap jobs was not. In the past the left was saying "the real issue is capital using migration to dr

Mike Perham has been quite vocal on microblogs, and he pulled 250k/year funding from RubyCentral, which is why Shopify is the main sponsor now. AFAIK, he pulled his funding for reasons related to DHH. https://mastodon.xyz&#x

I think the point is that was in vogue 5-10 years ago but now people are treating it as background noise due to overuse. Which sucks because there is real fascism in some parts of society. But DHH? I have no idea.

True. Pretty much every Kotlin recruitment message I got was because of past Java experience, so the job market seems to agree with you.

My guess, from experience: they assumed the blanket was hiding something of value underneath it. One thing I learned living in a dangerous area was that you should keep zero visible things inside your car when it's parked, otherwise

Yep, that seems like the answer.

I beg to differ. It's only easy for projects you're constantly using daily. People tend to build all sorts of abominations with it.

I vividly remember the image of one guy digging a hole and another filling it with dirt as a representation of government bureaucracy and similar. Looks like office workers are gonna have the same privilege.
