I like that idea too. Would this be something we could setup individually or a global system preference with a few options to choose from? +1 for this feature. Phone number fields should not be plain text inputs. Just a recipe for bad data. (In reply to Brandon from comment #2) > +1 for this feature.

Funny enough I was just talking last night about how I should resurrect this for main. I've been using it locally for the past 2 years and it's nice. That said, formatting phone numbers for display purposes at least could be cool.

Let me know if you'd like me to post some updated patches. I could certainly make some time for that, if you're interested in it. David has a much better way of doing this in Bug 23817. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23817 *** I'm inclined to keep this open because libraries might want a way to keep phone numbers consistently formatted for display. I think it also improves the user experience of entering the phone number. |
