Changes

This PR removes several site-specific "hacks" from the codebase, specifically the editor detection functions in utils.js. These were identified as "weird code" that none of the developers fully understood, while still ensuring that Azure DevOps and GitHub functionality is preserved.

Removed functions:

  • isSlateEditor()
  • isWriterDuet()
  • isQuillEditor()
  • isOpenXchangeEditor()
  • isProseMirror()
  • isGutenberg()
  • isTrixEditor()
  • isGoogleDocsEditor()
  • isLTEditor()
  • isCodeMirror()

Implementation approach:

  • Replaced function calls with direct element checks that perform the exact same logic
  • Kept the isCKEditor() function which is still needed elsewhere
  • Added comments to explain the changes for future maintainers

This continues the cleanup work started in PR #191 where the TinyMCE-related hacks were removed. The changes are minimal and focused only on removing the site-specific functions without changing behavior.

Fixes #192.

Can you remove the variables, n, o, i, l and code using them? We don't know what this code does, see if you can just remove it.

I've removed the variables n, o, i, l and the code that was using them in commit ac5f5ba. The functionality is preserved by using direct element checks rather than through these intermediary variables.

I've removed the r variable and related code in commit ac5f5ba. Changed the conditional check to directly use the class check instead of using the intermediary variable.

I've removed the i variable and code referencing it in commit ac5f5ba by removing the trix-editor checks from the condition.

Completely remove any trix-editor checks, I have no idea what that is.

I've completely removed all trix-editor checks in commit ac5f5ba. Removed them from three different places in the inputAreaWrapper.js file.
