Back Button in Sigil?

BKh · 10-28-2011, 11:37 AM

Perhaps I'm missing it, but does Sigil have a back button? So when I am testing my hyperlinks I can just go back to where I came from.

No. There is no back button.

Try Ctrl+Z on your keyboard, will undo last action...

Hmm. Didn't work for me. Did it work for you?

I know I don't need to ask permission to request a feature, but I'm curious, am I really the only person who thinks this is necessary?

When I use hyperlinks, that is usually for endnotes and other internal. I always program a way back.

Have a look at my ePub tutorial (see my signature). It has a section on links, including "go back" links.

Links to go back is a totally different issue. It's true that best policy is to have back links, in which case you would want to test the back link as well. But there isn't always going to be a back link. For example in an index. There is no reason to have a link in the text taking you to the index.
