I am all for a user selection item on toolbar that would offer existing mode as well as pure editor mode and pure browser mode. User configurability is nice in any utility and this type of config would remove need to choose what to implement on a edit/browse action .... Hello again, I've noticed that a lot of times when Amaya behaves differently than how I would expect, it's because Amaya was designed as both a web browser and editor, while I'm used to having separate applications for these tasks. For example: - If I double-click a word that has a link applied to it, I would expect to select the word for editing. Instead, Amaya navigates to the link. - If I press Tab in a table cell, I would expect my cursor to move to the next table cell. Insead, it moves to the next link. - If I enter text into a field, I would expect the text to be saved as the "value" attribute in the HTML. Instead, my text is lost when I close the document. I can understand the logic of these behaviors, but at the same time I intend to use Amaya only as an editor and never as a browser, so I would prefer it to be designed primarily for editing. How does this compare to other users? Would the developers consider making the application more editing-oriented if that were the consensus of users? Another option would be an explicit "edit" and "browse" mode that behaved differently.
