Parse Title as Link, makes title a dragable link

[Alex Hough]

Just a thought...

I have a tiddler open and create a new tiddler, which opens above it. If the open tiddler's title were rendered as a wikilink, i would be able to drag it into the new tiddler, in a similar way which I can drag tiddlers from the sidebar.

good idea?

As you mention, you have the open tiddler sidebar (I use it often too, and you can use it with high tiddler, wich you maybe can't with your idea). I'm not big fan to add another link, with do nothing else (ie tiddler already open!).

what i mean is that I can drag a link to a tiddler being edited from the title one below

Hi Alex,

Why can't you drag it from the sidebar/open tab?

Richard

[Alex Hough]

I can of course.... Linking by dragging from the tittle occued to me while work g in the story river.... It's about maintaining 'flow'...

I probably don't fully understand what you mean, but just maybe you're suggesting that a tiddlers title appearing in the head of the tiddler (as opposed to in some list) could be links so that you could drag a copy of it into some place you need it? This is actually already possible, simply by selecting the title just like you can select any other piece of text, and then drag a copy of this into wherever you want it.

Having the title be a link does omit the selection step though.

Hi Alex,

If you're really keen on this, you could try altering the text of $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title

In all likelihood I've broken something horribly, but I was able to add <$link></$link> (in two places) and it *appears* to do what you describe (but please, please don't use it on your real wiki).

The text looks like this: -

\define title-styles()
fill:$(foregroundColor)$;
\end
\define config-title()
$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$(listItem)$
\end
<div class="tc-tiddler-title">
<div class="tc-titlebar">
<span class="tc-tiddler-controls">
<$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/ViewToolbar]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem"><$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<config-title>> text="hide"><$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/></$reveal></$list>
</span>
<$set name="foregroundColor" value={{!!color}}>
<span class="tc-tiddler-title-icon" style=<<title-styles>>>
<$transclude tiddler={{!!icon}}/>
</span>
</$set>
<$link><$list filter="[all[current]removeprefix[$:/]]">
<h2 class="tc-title" title={{$:/language/SystemTiddler/Tooltip}}>
<span class="tc-system-title-prefix">$:/</span><$text text=<<currentTiddler>>/>
</h2>
</$list>
</$link>
<$link>
<$list filter="[all[current]!prefix[$:/]]">
<h2 class="tc-title">
<$view field="title"/>
</h2>
</$list>
</$link>
</div>
<$reveal type="nomatch" text="" default="" state=<<tiddlerInfoState>> class="tc-tiddler-info tc-popup-handle" animate="yes" retain="yes">
<$transclude tiddler="$:/core/ui/TiddlerInfo"/> 

</$reveal>
</div>

Regards,

This request has come up before so I've added a new setting to control panel to control whether tiddler titles are rendered as links.

You can try it out with the prerelease:

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Jeremy

thanks for this.

A nice side effect is when you click on the title, the tiddler moves to the top of the screen.

Another is that you can drag the tid from one TW to another by the title.

I also think it re-enforces the idea that links are to titles

I aleady have my own clone of the prerelease and am adapting it for learning purposes

What's the best way of adding this to my clone?

I don't see a plugin.... is it in the core?

best wishes

Alex

OK.... premature question!

When I read the idea the first time I did not find it useful in any way. But the possibility to drag a tiddler to another wiki using the title to drag it is an awesome feature and makes it much more intuitive. I hate to be forced to open the open sidebar to drag a tiddler that I'm reading. I find it very natural, I'm reading something, and I want it on my wiki I just pick it up using the title. Wonderful!

[Alex Hough]

I've been toying with it for 10 minutes or so..... i really like the way clicking in the title of a tiddler moves it up to the top of the screen.... sometimes it takes a couple of clicks.... but it results in the tiddler being in the same reading possition each time: OK scrolling does that too, but I like the feel. It's a behaviour which re-enforces focus.

A refinement came to mind: what if there were an animation when you clicked the title to re-enforce the focussing of attention: a glowing of the border or something like that. A while ago "gamification" was mentioned in a hangout... this would fit into that scenario

Another thought -- could double clicking on the link open it in edit mode? (I vaguely recall some technical reason why double click can't work in TW5)

It not a technical reason, it's by design. It's not consistent with 90% of programs/web to edit an element just double clicking it.

[Felix Küppers]

Really nice! Thanks Jeremy.

[Alex Hough]

I don't know: music apps on iPad I use have double clicking to edit... seems natural to me.

TW is not particularly compliant with trends and norms...

as a personal tool, double clicking on a link to open in edit mode would be great

Hardly possible to use double click if the single click is already used
on the element. Think about it ;)
