CodeMirror "Opening links in wikitext" feature not working
Closed, InvalidPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Hello.

I have just enabled the CodeMirror beta feature in my global preferences. All the features seem to be working except for one. I can't seem to make the "Opening links in wikitext" feature work.

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Enable the CodeMirror beta feature on a wiki (eg, French Wikipedia).
  • Edit a random page.
  • Ctrl + click on a wikilink.

What happens?: Nothing. Nothing in the console either.

What should have happened instead?: According to the documentation, it should open the target page in a new tab.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): /

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
I am using:

  • Editor: WikiEditor
  • Skin: Timeless (tried on Vector 2022 as well)
  • OS: Ubuntu (tried on Windows as well)
  • Browser: Firefox (tried on Chromium as well)

I have tried on the French Wikipedia, French Wiktionary, English Wikipedia...
I have also tried various keyboard combinations (instead of just Ctrl): Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Shift+Alt, Right Ctrl...

When looking at the loaded .js files on my browser, I cannot find any file related to openLinks (unline the master version downloaded from here). Maybe the loaded version is not the latest.

Has this feature been disabled? Is the loaded version not the latest? Or is there something I am missing?

This feature is not enabled yet. Please wait for the next MW version.

Thank you for your response. Then, it should be specified in the documentation, especially since CodeMirror was announced in Tech News a few weeks ago. I also wonder why Special:ExtensionDistributor/CodeMirror does not show the current installed version of MediaWiki (1.44).
