Hello,

I think you misunderstood how autolink plugin works. Currently it only turns the pasted URL text into a link. We decided to approve this feature request and it will be implemented consistent with autolink plugin behavior i.e. it will replace email addresses with correct link only when an email has been pasted.

Nevertheless you gave us a great feature idea to handle typed text with autolink plugin. I opened additional feature request for it: #1815.

If you like the idea please give it thumbs up so we will know that our community is interested in this feature.

Thanks for your response and explanation! I didn't know that it was only about pasting and certainly it is also very important to have those automated created links for typed urls as well.

We in the TYPO3 community are using ckeditor and those features are missing as it was possible in the previous editor.

actually TYPO3 has integrated a custom autolinking plugin without mailto-link support TYPO3/typo3@e096754
