Recorded this to answer your questions.

Fantastic, thanks for that Kier!

OK.....
#1 - selective quoting = amazing. The implementation also looks great.
#2 - selective multi-quoting ?

That deserves a Xenforo Tshirt.


Sweet.

Anyone remember which addon/tweak did the selective quoting ? There was one.

'First post footnotes'... hmm

How about implementing something like First Post Footnotes ?

EDIT:
It was @Fuhrmann

These are great, and needed features for Replying! Especially the highlighting quote feature.

Well, that's the only feature announced here.

The selective quoting & selective multiquoting since May 2013 for all editors (ref); welcome to XenForo

Well, that's the only feature announced here.

...Have you even seen the video? Lots of improvement to the reply system.

 

[imthebest]

Yep and that's the only feature being announced here: select to quote.

 

[0ptima]

Very impressive! I really like the multi-quote snippet feature

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Nice work fellas. That's another add-on that I can get rid of.

 

[Valter]

Don't take me wrong, other changes in 1.4 are also nice, but for me this is the first reason to not wait with upgrading when 1.4 is released.

Keep up the good work!

 

[ceptime]

great update waiting...

I was a little disappointed with Multiquote in xF 1.3...

But I really love what I see here. That makes it really quick and easy, to quote in the way, me and my users like.

Really Big Like

I presume the up arrow let us know where the quote came from, even if it's not in the current thread?

The attribution link is present in all quotes which include the associated data such as the post ID.

I am not saying that I do not love this feature. But wanted to post something here. An option to disable this would be good to have because... There are third party apps that let you select text in content area and then tweet that text (0r post it on Facebook). This feature would interfere with apps like that. No harm in offering an option to disable it I mean.

 

[Luke F]

It would be nice to have an option to display the link elsewhere, such as next to the reply button or even to repurpose the reply button when text is selected. Popping up links next to where a user is selecting text breaks the native experience for people who e.g. select text in rapid succession as they read it to help follow it by eye.

 

[The Grand Potentate]

How does the menu present on mobile?

 

[Sola]

Outstanding and original. Great work.

 

[PatrickGER]

Well & seksy

 

[MattW19]

It does work on Android/iOS and their touch selection implementation.

Does it not work or is it just not tested on Windows Phone?
