EditManager removes hyperlinks

When I use SelectManger for the texflow's interactionManager, href links in the XML file works as expected.  But now I need to edit (add highlight feature) the text, so I am now using EditManager instead of SelectionManager, which removes/disables the hyperlinks in the XML.

You can do a simple test by downloading the examples zip, and replace SelectionManager with EditManager in the CustomLinkEventHandler class file.

So any suggestions?  Thanks again.

Correct - the modifier key is only required in read-write mode. Links in read-only and read-select will work normally.

When you can edit the text you may want to edit the text in the link. So clicking in the link gets you a cursor instead of the regular link behavior. To use a link in edit mode hold down the command/control key when you click.

Alan, thanks for posting about the command/control key click, apparently I forgot how to use a computer.

So by flagging different EditingModes, I will be able to click on a link without doing the command/control click?

Thanks.
