Skip the [Write/Tweet/Facebook] selection step?

    Is there any way to simply have the Sidenotes text-entry box pop up as soon as text is highlighted, without forcing the user through the intermediate step of selecting between the [Write/Tweet/Facebook] options?

    For certain uses of Sidenotes, such as my site, writing sidenotes will be the ONLY use: there are no circumstances in which users will want to Tweet or send their selection to Facebook, it would be much smoother if I could have the option of jumping them straight to writing the sidenote.

    Also, for users of the extremely popular Mac app PopClip, it is actually difficult to click the [Write/Tweet/Facebook] pop-up because it is hidden behind the PopClip pop-up.

    Hi there!

    For now, the only way to go directly into the Sidenotes text-entry area is to use the “caption bubble” icons that appear before line breaks, though we understand these are typically used to annotate or comment on a particular paragraph or image in the post, not a word or smaller selection of words.

    There is no option for toggling the sharing ability on/off when highlighting words or smaller portions of text at this time, but we can log this as a feature request now as well as bring up any options that might be available if a setup is using an additional app like PopClip. Thanks for bringing these use cases to our attention!

    If you’d like some additional information about Sidenotes or have some specific questions about your particular site’s implementation, also feel free to contact support[at]livefyre[dot]com to have someone look into this for you.
