5.5 version comments overwrite/auto-clear
Permalink
When publishing a page the version comments box has a pre-filled value, in my case 'Version 6' (as example). The cursor is already at the start of the box, so I go to overtype with my comment, but my typed text does not clear/overwrite the existing pre-filled value.
This feels clunky compared to 5.4/other webapps as I need to click in the comments box, clear pre-filled value, then type my new comment. My preference would be to auto-clear the pre-filled value if the cursor is not moved, then one can publish, type comment, press return - done. No use of backspace/delete/arrow keys or mouse required.
You may want to take some ideas from the way toggl.com do this. They also have keyboard shortcuts which makes input ultra speedy.

I think your patch relies on a mouse click event? ie i have to touch the lump of plastic with a wire hanging out of it when both hands are already at the keyboard.
The patch sort-of helps for now (thanks!), but ideally it would be nice not to touch the mouse at all to publish a page.

nope, it'll be selected when you click exit edit mode because that automatically focuses on the version comments are. try it.
that does this. it will hopefully get merged into the core.
