Added a "Clear text" button in right click menu within the text boxes. #3475

weidafan · 2017-12-01T00:19:09Z

Revised pull request from Monday 11/27. #3465

It was requested to have a new button within the right click menu of text boxes when creating or editing library entries. See this link for description
We created a new class that extended MenuItem to create the instance of the ClearField.
We added the instance into the menuItem array so that it would be included in the right click menu.

There is a possibility to make each text box a clearable text box, with a red "x" in the corner to clear the text box even quicker. We could not target where to change the type of text box, so that feature still remains.

Change in CHANGELOG.md described
Tests created for changes
Screenshots added (for bigger UI changes)
Manually tested changed features in running JabRef
Check documentation status (Issue created for outdated help page at help.jabref.org?)
If you changed the localization: Did you run gradle localizationUpdate?

For future contributions, please always update the existing PR (except you messed up) . That makes it easier to follow and review your code. On merge all commits will be squashed into one

weidafan · 2017-12-01T14:16:11Z

I am sorry. I am a beginner. This is my first pull request and I did mess up my whole JabRef program. I rebuilded the whole program. Thank you for your advise.

lenhard

I have a few very minor comments that should be addressed, but apart from that the PR looks good.

Thanks for your contribution!

I think the description

is already sufficient.

Moreover, please reference to the issue in the form koppor#198 and link the correct issue.

Well, the new line character is now at the wrong place 😸. It should be after the last brace and not before (the red "no newline at end of file" marker here at github should disappear. Your IDE probably has an option for adding the newline automatically.

You can also just reuse the text "Clear" here so that our poor translators don't have to work too much.
