Persistant memo textbox

[Taylor Nguyen]

Hello,

Is there a script to have a persistent memo-box/note-pad in a tiddler? I am in need of a box that I can quickly jot down ideas without opening up the tiddly editor. It doesn't need to have text formatting options, just simple text with no markdown. Also, being persistent - I can close the tiddler and open it again and the input text is still there.

I remember there being a thread like this years ago on here. I couldn't find it again.

Thank you.

Try this:

Create a tiddler (e.g. "TiddlerNotesTemplate"), tagged with $:/tags/ViewTemplate, containing:

<$edit-text tag="textarea" class="tc-edit-texteditor" field="notes"/>

This will add a multi-line textarea input at the bottom of every tiddler.

enjoy,

That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!

I suggest also added a "heading" above the textarea.  Something like this:

```

<$button class="tc-btn-invisible">
   {{$:/core/images/delete-button}}
   <$action-setfield $tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> $field="notes"/>
</$button>
''Notes:''
<$macrocall $name="copy-to-clipboard-above-right" src={{!!notes}}/>

<$edit-text tag="textarea" class="tc-edit-texteditor" field="notes"/>

```
Notes:

• The `$button` widget adds a "trash can" button in the upper left.  Pressing this button clears the notes contents and removes the `notes` field from the tiddler.
• The `copy-to-clipboard-above-right` macro added a "copy to clipboard" button in the upper right. Pressing this button copies the notes contents to the system clipboard for quickly pasting it elsewhere.

enjoy,

One more addition.  Put the following at the start of the "TiddlerNotesTemplate" definition:

```

<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>is[tiddler]]">

```

This bypasses displaying the TiddlerNotesTemplate for shadow tiddlers (e.g., `$:/AdvancedSearch`), so you can't add notes that will automatically convert a shadow tiddler into a "real" tiddler which will prevent it from being upgraded when a new TWCore is released.

Question for you @Eric Shulman

When I make the tiddler containing everything for the memo textbox a sidebar tab, the texteditor only goes about half the width of the sidebar.

is there a way I could set it to be wider, possibly linking it to the sidebar-width using calc()?
