This add-on enables users to add notes, or annotations, to Web pages.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
To switch the annotator on, left-click the pencil icon in the Add-on Bar. The
|
|
icon should turn yellow: this indicates that the annotator is active. To switch
|
|
it off, click it again. Switching it on/off only stops you from entering
|
|
annotations: existing annotations are still displayed.
|
|
|
|
When the annotator is active and the user moves the mouse over a page element
|
|
that can be annotated, the annotator highlights that elements by giving it a
|
|
yellow background.
|
|
|
|
If the user clicks on a highlighted element the add-on opens a dialog for the
|
|
user to enter the annotation. When the user hits <return> the annotation is
|
|
saved.
|
|
|
|
Elements which have been annotated are displayed with a yellow border: when the
|
|
user moves the mouse over one of these elements, the add-on displays the
|
|
annotation associated with that element.
|
|
|
|
To view all annotations in a list, right-click the pencil icon.
|
|
|
|
The add-on is deactivated in private browsing mode, meaning that new annotations
|
|
can't be created although existing ones are still shown. On exiting private
|
|
browsing the add-on returns to its previous activation state.
|
|
|
|
Known Issues/Limitations
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
It is not possible to delete annotations, or to edit them after creating them,
|
|
but it would be simple to add this.
|
|
|
|
When right-clicking the annotator icon the add-on bar's context-menu is shown:
|
|
this is tracked by
|
|
[bug 626326](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626326).
|
|
|
|
The list of annotations should be anchored to the widget. The annotation
|
|
editor, and the annotation itself, should be anchored to the element which is
|
|
annotated. The will be done when the implementation of panel-anchoring is
|
|
extended.
