    Would the 
    click
    event be better?
  • b
    That's what I'm using right now but It's still triggering even if I hold it down for awhile
  • g
    hx-trigger="click [getSelection().isCollapsed]
    ?
  • m
    slick, mr. acksimsek
  • b
    Getting a syntax error on that
  • m
    another way to do it would be to add a listener for mousedown and mouse up and dragging to trigger a custom event
  • m
    what's the syntax error?
  • m
    try w/ no space 
    click[getSelection().isCollapsed]
  • m
    i'm gonna noodle on some hyperscript for this for a sec, just for fun. If @User 's approach works. that's ideal
  • b
    Yeah that worked
  • m
    it's an htmx miracle
  • b
    What did that do? TLDR is fine, just curious so I know for the future
  • b
    And thanks a bunch @User
  • m
    applied a filter to the click event, checking to see if the document selection isn't empty
  • b
    ah clever, cool!
  • m
    very clever, Mr Acksimsek is a clever young man
  • g
    if the selection is collapsed, that means nothing is selected. you know, the 100% normal terminology that everyone uses
  • g
    /s
  • m
    javascript APIs 😑
  • b
    lol. Ok thanks again!
  • m
    some rough hyperscript for this:
    Copy code
    on mousedown set element dragged to false 
on mousemove set dragged to true
on mouseup if not dragged trigger "pureClick"
  • m
    you could then use 
    hx-trigger="pureClick"
  • m
    friggen love hyperscript and htmx, folks ngl
  • m
    @User still need a good prefix for element vars, c'mon man, help me out
  • m
    colon?
  • g
    ~%^\/:;&
    some options to narrow down
  • g
    colon looks like a css pseudoclass
  • g
    also my phone keyboard autocompletes pseudocommands now
  • g
    we might want to reserve ; and &
  • s
    ~^
    looks like a negation, 
    ;\/
    are too unusual in my opinion, so 
    %
    if 
    &
    should be reserved?
