137463 - want single click to reuse last colour

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72090

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[Scott Davis]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031103

To colour some text, the user may highlight the text, click on the foreground
colour tool (which pops up a pallete window), choose a colour from the palette
in the picker window, and click OK.

To reuse this colour, the picker window must be reopened, and the Last-Picked
colour button clicked, followed by OK.

I would like a single-click shortcut for the last colour (eg right-click on the
foreground tool in the toolbar).

MS Word has a pop-up menu for the colour picker, and a button for "last used" in
the toolbar.

dup of bug 72090?

If you select the text you want to color, press shift-key + click the color icon
on toolbar: Text gets last used color.

Thanks. I just didn't try the right keystrokes, and failed to search for closed
bugs. And now that I know it's there, I can even see it in the help pages :-(
Sorry to waste your time. Mozilla is a great product.

I peeked and found it:
In Help, under Creating Web Pages / Formatting Your Web Pages / Changing Text,
Color, Style and Font:

"Tip: To quickly change the color of text to the color last used, select the
text, then press Shift + Click on the color picker."

Help file documentation is still checked in. I don't know when this was added,
but it's there in build 2002041408, XP.

Verified dup.
