Contact form buttons… elsewhere

[y-lohse]

The regular contact form and the intents contact form are both in modals, and ideally the submit and cancel buttons would be in the modal footer, fixed.

I tried to do that with preact-portals in (#155) but it didn't work, and I just wanted to document it somewhere.

• Closing the creation form modal when the buttons are portaled causes a preact error (something about a parent node not found in a low level function) and then the whole app is broken
• The contact form relies on a submit event which needs to be triggered by a submit button. Once the button is portaled elsewhere, I suspect the event doesn't bubble properly and the submit is never fired. While it's possible to manually fire the submit event, this would break keyboard interaction.

So yeah, portals = meh for this. Maybe we should look for a different solution.
