Hi. I'm a big fan of the desktop version of TiddlyWiki. I'm taking a MOOC on probability and it has been a great joy to spread topics around distinct Tiddlers and have something I can reference again and again in my professional work.

The search function is really spectacular. Is there an equivalent for within a tiddler? 

The example that comes to mind is that I find myself searching for an equation or phrase in a large Tiddler or a list of concepts and then I'm scanning line-by-line to hunt it down. Thanks!

ps, I wanted to add - the work this community has done to build TiddlyWiki as a free, decentralized service is just really damn cool.

Sebastian,

I got a lot of value recently doing a class room subject on BigData, it was fantastic for notes, review and documentation/links

If you install the code Mirror Plugins you can include a see ControlPanel, Plugins, Get more plugins

Also I often open large tiddlers for edit and use the browsers FF ctrl-f to find within the tiddler

For more complex editing and replacing within a Tiddler I use the Firefox add on withExEditor to open the editing text field in the Free NotePad++ (I use the PortableApps.com version)

Regards
Tony

Tony,

This is sweet. Can I modify codemirror to have the F8F8F8 editor background color and the default editing font? 

I'll poke around the CodeMirror page to see if something comes up. 

Regards
Sebastian

Brief update. I added this stylesheet using the instructions in the usage tiddler.

.tiddly-text-editor.CodeMirror {
    background-color: "F8F8F8";
    font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
}

I updated the theme in the CodeMirror settings in control panel, but I'm not finding a change in backgrounds.

Sebastian,

I am sure you can influence the code mirror css, although it has the line highlight feature so this may make intervention a little more complx.

Hi all,

something about CodeMirror theming:

There are lots of CodeMirror themes available for import in your tiddlywiki
If you install the CodeMirror plugin and open the ControlPanel, switch to "Settings" > "CodeMirror" , there's a link "Usage information" with a how-to for adding themes

about search functionality:

The "Search and Replace" CodeMirror plugin adds a search panel within the Text Editor that lets you search your Tiddler-Text, highlights the search results and lets you cycle through them.


Hope this helps,
BTC
