Additional panes

[Tryign It]

I am currently experimenting with TW, but dislike the way links currently open.

Currently, a new link opens on the bottom or top - and reading it requires scrolling to the new Tiddler, and consequently losing the original reading place...
A great feature is the 'open in new window' - however, that opens too many windows if the user want the tiddler to remain open for reference

One solution would be an additional pane, into which new links can be opened (just as there is a 'open in new window' button, there would be an 'open in new pane (1, 2, 3,4) button. In addition to this, a tiddler can be 'pinned' to the pane, possible even re-arranged via drag and drop...

Is this possible with current TW features?
If so - how could it be done?

Hi,

have you tried "Zoomin" view to show one opened tiddler at at time (selected from Control Panel/Appearance/Story View)?

You can then use the browser back button to navigate from the opened link to the previous tiddler or click on the list of opened tiddlers.

Personally I wouldn't use Tiddliwiki if it was based on the classic view as I find it incredibly confusing to jump all over the page but everyone seems to use this behaviour as standard - really can't understand why anyone would adopt this approach.

Regards
Jon

you can use tabs for individual tiddlers see:

Thank you both for the suggestions,
As for the Zoomin option, that is slightly less annoying than the scroll - but it still takes me from my reading spot
The tab is better still, but again, it takes me fromt he reading spot.

I want to view multiple tiddlers collectively, and some pinned all the time in that pane...

I sometimes "pin" a tiddler to the top left menu or put it above the story using system tags

@Tryign - could you post a simple drawing of your vision? I'm not even sure what you mean with a "pane" so it would hopefully clarify a lot.

Hi, Tryign —

You may like substories, which allow you to open and close tiddlers "inside" a current tiddler.  They're great for opening content you need to read before getting back to reading the main tiddler content.

In addition to the tabs you can create scrolling for each tab/tiddler by changing the style. create a tiddler (you could call it $:/scroll), tag it $:/tags/Stylesheet and add this as contents:

 .tc-tiddler-body {
    height: 70vh;
    overflow: scroll;
}

I think this is what you want

Thanks AlexHough for sharing your suggestion, but that would not work for me personally...it would only get in the way of reading...etc.

Thanks again for the suggestion, I think between this & substories I have a solution for now...
Thanks also for the other tools, very useful!
