One thing I love about the TW is you don't lose context when you click on a link.

In regular HTML when you click on a link the current page is *replaced* by a new page. So it's easy to forget
where you can from and you can't see it on the screen.

In the TW the new tiddler is opened below the current tiddler so you can see both - but this is
not true if the new tiddler has been opened and is off screen, in this case the display is scrolled to
the new tiddler  - so you loose (or can't see the context)

What I'd like to is make the behaviour uniform so that when I click on a link the
tiddler *always* gets displayed below the current tiddler - ie promote it in the list of opened tiddlers.

Is this possible?

Yes exactly that.

There are some settings in the control panel (under the “Settings” tab) that might be useful: you can separately control tiddlers opened from within the story river and tiddlers opened from the sidebar. 

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi,

If you CTRL-click a link, the tiddler will be opened, but no scrolling happens. ... That's the way I use it.
