Each WYSIWYG text editor I can recall ever using (MS Word, Pages, Notes on Mac & iOS, web pages, etc.) exhibit the following behaviour. Suppose I'm editing the following text:
• Item one
• Item two
• |
Item three
Where |
represents the current position of my caret.
If I press "Del" at this point, the following happens:
• Item one
• Item two
Item three
Isn't the above completely counter to what one would intuitively expect to happen?
(So, what I would always do instead is the following: type a
, press Del
, press Backspace
, which is really annoying).
Why, oh why does this action remove the bullet point in each and every text editor I have ever used?! This has infuriated me for literally decades of my life, and still does 😭!
