Component body

This module enables a WYSIWYG plugin for CKEditor 4.x and up that corrects the backspace behavior in Webkit based browsers.

Currently, when typing in text and hitting backspace, Webkit based browsers may add in span tags and/or other random markup that is not intended. This plugin loads in the background automatically and corrects that behavior.

If you use Chrome to manage content with CKEditor and don't know why spans are being added at random - there's a high chance this editor plugin will fix that behavior until CKEditor or Webkit is patched.

WYSIWYG module is required.

Installing

  1. Download the webkit span fix plugin from GitHub
  2. Create a 'ckeditor_plugins' folder in your libraries folder
  3. Create a 'webkit_span_fix' inside of ckeditor_plugins
  4. Place the plugin file(s) in the new directory
  5. Enable the module
  6. Clear cache
  7. Check/edit content - as you type new lines and hit backspace, no errant spans should be inserted.
