Suggestion: Add link button pop-up input boxes

Currently, when you press the button to add a link, it just outputs this:

Code: Select all

[url][/url]
Selecting text first just puts the text in the middle of the two tags, without letting you specify your own URL and link text for the link.

I would prefer that it prompted me for a URL, then for the text that will be shown, and then created the full code for it, so it could output something like this:

Code: Select all

[url=https://www.tomatojunction.com/]a tomato-themed website[/url]
And if you select text before pressing it, I think it should prompt you for a URL, and then use the selected text as the display text.

I usually want to add custom text for links when I link.

This is one thing that bugs me too, it should be a simple click and paste. That option isn't available yet, but you can do it with a few clicks like this. New Posts

Add a = after the L of the first url tag and insert the link.
And it looks like this.
