Attachment form makes it harder to post comment

Actually, grabbing the pointing device involves moving my right hand 30cm to the right. Sorry for the confusion, but it's still not an option.

So, can this attachment business be moved to a drop down. I'm not too bothered to move my finger 10mm to the nipple in the middle of the keyboard on the odd occasion that I want to add an attachment, but it would be annoying doing that all the time.

"[ ] Include attachment" is also superflorous, as it's only going to exist if a filename has been selected for upload.

"[ ] patch" could be better renamed "[ ] this is a diff/patch file", or better still automatically set from simply reading the file upon upload. (The can be overridden later if the auto-detection actually got it incorrect.

For the moment, just move the attachment and "subscribe!" options to be after the "[Save Changes]" button would solve this issue really easily.

I propose that we:

1. Remove the Add a comment/attachment expander.
2. Morph the "Include attachment" checkbox into an expander that hides the attachment widgets by default.

Thoughts? mpt?

Actually, if you just removed the "Include attachement" checkbox, and ignore attacement if the file name is empty, that would allow posting a comment by just tab (into the "File" input) and enter (posts the form since it's a single line input).

A bit tricky, but people who care about keyboard navigation are more likely than the average to know about such tricks.

Making the attachement block expandable would still cost one more tab than this.

Why not just tab into the "E-mail me about changes to this bug report" and press Enter there? (It won't mark it since this is done with space, at least in Firefox).

Right, I found out about that shortly after I posted this message.

It also works for various similar comment posting forms over the web. Nice trick to know about.

I suggest that "Add a comment" and "Add an attachment" be separate expandable sections, with a single "Save Changes" button outside both.
