767523 - Kuma: Editor - When editing a link, automatically update the <a> element's title attribute

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

When you click in a link and hit the link button to edit it, the link editor dialog doesn't populate the Title field. This makes some amount of sense.

But a common use case is that you want to replace the link because you started the search with the text of the link, then picked the wrong item from the list.

What would be awesome is that if the down arrow from the empty Title field would re-populate the Title field with the link's text (that is, for <a href="foo">Bar</a>, the Title field would get "Bar") and a new search started.

This would make it really easy to try again when we've made this mistake, which we make pretty often. :)

Not a launch or near-launch priority but would make me a happy Sheppy when/if it happens.
