Hyperlinks - beta1

I find I keep accidentally clicking on hyperlinks when all I want to do is edit something. Is there a preference setting somewhere that allows me to set a key-click combination ie ctrl - left mouse click for when I actually want to jump to the hyperlink, rather than the default behaviour.

Yes, there has been a couple of bugs where the hyperlinking is stuck on
in Komodo, most notably on the Mac, which results in accidental goto
definition jumps:

I've just added some fixes this morning that should resolve this
problem, as well as adding Komodo preferences to be able to disable the
hyperlinks (or to just disable the goto definition hyperlink handler):
http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/revision/?rev=3277

It should be possible to set a per-user preference for the hyperlinking control key, I've added a bug for that:

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
Todd

Thanks, actually now realise

Thanks, actually now realise I misunderstood the behaviour:

"where Ctrl+mouse-hover will underline interesting regions" (cmd + mouse-hover on osx)

On beta 1 on OSX it was bugged so that just mouse-hover (without cmd) would produce the hyperlink (probably got stuck like that at some point) - thus I would keep jumping all over my code.

I downloaded the nightly 27467 and this bug seems to be fixed - thanks, but I'll see how I go after a solid days work.

thanks,

Brett
