Adds visualisation and control over soft hyphens in content elements of TYPO3.

Shy Guy - Soft Hyphen Managing

Adds visualisation and control over soft hyphens in content elements to TYPO3.

What does it do

Ever wondered how to force very long words to break into the next line if space gets too narrow? This Extension adds an "insert soft hyphen" Button into the button bar at the top (next to save, view, eg. in content editing view).

How to install

Just install the extension manual or via composer. No configuration is needed.

How does it work

Within a content element, a soft hyphen is set at the caret position if you click the button.

shyguy's Issues

HTML Element is broken

Hi thank you for your extension.

we try to use it in a new project with TYPO3 v10.4 and fluid_styled_content.
After the installation it breaks the Plain Text Content Element CType = html

If you use it, your JavaScript replace the html code and the textarea is white.

Combine with RTE shy Button (insertcharacters)

This extension is awesome – thanks for that!
In the past i added shy's to the rte with the ck_editor insertcharacters shy button, which was re-added a time ago:

https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-core/master/en-us/Changelog/8.7.x/Important-85361-EXTrte_ckeditor-Re-addTheSoftHyphenButton.html

But the problem with this solution is, that the is no visible Feedback for shy's.
With shyguy installed the "old" rte shy button still has no visible feedback. Would it be possible to combine the shyguy with the rte Button?

Problem with the search for words with hyphen

Very good extension, thank you very much. Unfortunately there is a problem in the backend. No matter in which search in the backend (e.g. main search, search on page by record, search in 'selectMultipleSideBySide'), unfortunately you can no longer search for the complete word. This is not found if hyphens have been inserted. You can then only search for the syllables, which is difficult and incomprehensible for the editors. Would it be possible to search for the complete words again, even if the words have hyphens?

PHP8

When i switch my installation to PHP8.0 or PHP8.1 i'll get an Exception-Error in the backend:
PHP Warning: Undefined array key "left" in /mysitepath/public/typo3conf/ext/shyguy/Classes/Hooks/ShyGuyHook.php line 28

Under PHP7.4 it works like a charm ;)

PHP Warning after install in TYPO3 11.5.30 / PHP 8.1

this message will be shown directly after installing the extension

Problems with FlexForms - Soft-Hyphen placeholder char ↵ doesn't get replaced with ­

I've spotted it in various situations.
Situation 1: CEs which are created via the Flux, simple inputs and RTEs the ↵ doesn't get replaced with ­
Situation2: A models TCA which gets extended via

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tx_MyExtension_domain_model_event']['columns']['attributes']['config'] = [
    'type' => 'flex',
    'ds' => [
        'default' => 'FILE:EXT:MxExtension/Configuration/FlexForms/event.xml',
    ],
];

Situation3: When I add a FlexForm to a plugin via

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['types']['list']['subtypes_addlist']['myExtension_myPlugin'] = 'pi_flexform';
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::addPiFlexFormValue(
  myExtension_myPlugin',
  'FILE:myExtension/Configuration/FlexForms/aFLexFormForMyPlugin.xml'
);

then the ↵ doesn't get inserted in a RTE textfield when I click the "Insert Soft Hyphen" (normal inputs are working). Also the replacement of the ↵ doesn't work.
