Prevent accidental opening link

The problem
When editing a note, it's super easy to accidentally touch on the link and it opens. Most of the times however I touch there not because I want to open it, but in order to set cursor there, append comma or return and put another link. The actual behaviour makes poor UX.

The solution
I propose not to open the link if the keyboard is shown, because it means I am editing.

I agree it's annoying. I'll look into it eventually...

I suppose that a good workaround for this problem would be implementation of view mode/edit mode. In view mode links are clickable, in edit mode they are not.

Here's what I changed:

  • Clicked at the start and at the end of a link won't do anything. This also fixes the case where we clicked in the end margin very far from a link and it still opened it.
  • Clicking on a link will open a confirmation dialog. If cancel is clicked, nothing will happen and text editing can be done at the clicked position.
