Longpress on Omnibox to copy/paste |
||
Issue descriptionWe should show an edit menu that allows for copying/pasting things to/from the Omnibox when longpressed. For now, the behavior should exactly mimic Safari, in that 3 possible states are possible: 1) Menu has 1 item (nothing in pasteboard): "Copy" 2) Menu has 2 items (non-URL string in pasteboard): "Copy | Paste and Search" 3) Menu has 2 items (URL string in pasteboard): "Copy | Paste and Go"

Is this still relevant?

We have Paste and Search now. When it's a URL, it performs as Paste and Go but the string still says Paste and Search. Stepan: Is that WAI?

I asked the same question here: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1143279#message-1c3ee89219fd7038f03e27167ff8f69077d729ee The answer from lod@ was: "I implemented this as detailed in the bug. Checked with Pete irl and he confirmed that they discussed whether to go with Paste & Search vs Paste & Go, and consciously made the decision not to do so since the added value for users is very low." I think there's value to doing "Paste and Search".

I agree with you, Justin. That is why I asked whether it is WAI. How easy/difficult is this adjustment?

I don't understand comment #4, as this is not the behavior in any of the channels. Regardless of what is in the clipboard – URL, non-URL string, or image (currently only in canary) – we say **Paste and Go**. From what I recall about the IRL discussion with lod@ mentioned in comment #5, I said it would be OK with me to go with a generic string that covered both actions/scenarios if the complexity in implementing a "URL check" (in order to distinguish a "Paste and Go" vs a "Paste and Search") would make us miss our mark for shipping this feature. At this point, I believe this particular issue is implemented and can be closed out, and that we can open a new bug to refine the feature by distinguishing between what is in the clipboard and updating our action strings accordingly.

Sounds good. Could you open a bug please about that? Thank you. Stepan/Justin: would one of you want to own this?
