Hi all,

I just have discovered the wasavi plugin for Firefox and I would like to use it in my TiddlyWiki. It works good with all textareas except in TiddlyWiki. I suppose that TiddlyWiki grabs all key inputs and thus prevents wasavi from being triggered. Does anybody have experience with this plugin?

In this thread somebody says that he used wasavi with TiddlyWiki (over one year ago) but maybe something has changed since then.

Best regards
Max

One additional information:

When I go to tiddlywiki.com and create a tiddler, the plugin works. But not in my local tiddlywiki.

Max,

I have used similar addons in the past. I like the external editor type where the text are gets opened in the other editor installed locally. I tend to use notepadd++ 

For this method to work it must be a real textarea as defined in html if you have codemirror editor in your wiki I believe it is not a simple text area because it presents additional features. There may be other plugins that use more than simple text areas within the edit view. Perhaps disable suspect plugins and reenable until you find what is causing it.

Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,

TiddlyWiki uses real textareas. I have checked it in the Firefox Developer Tools.

I have first deactivated and then deleted all my plugins and it still didn't work.
Then I downloaded a clean TiddlyWiki (empty.html) and it didn't work either. But it works on tiddlywiki.com. Very strange!

And no, I don't use CodeMirror.

Maybe I will try it. But I prefer the concept of using an editor available on my laptop over putting an editor in every copy/backup of my wiki.

Do you use CodeMirror now instead of an external editor?

Best regards
Max

Max,

By default my wikis are not codemirror, I use the default plus some additional editor toolbar buttons, but I install codeMirror in some key and developer type wikis, where I do a lot of Wiki text, mostly for the line numbering, indent/tab feature and bracketing. Unfortunately the browser spell check is not always working with codemirror, however it is a good editor, in one master wiki I can toggle code mirror / standard editor.

I used to use the external editor addons and notepad++ but now I just copy and paste to/from notepad++ or open other files on notepad++ before pasting into tiddlywiki. Actually I have special csv editors, html, column based editors and more available. Horses for courses.

For any given job I will select from the pallet of available workflows and editor, If I am doing a lot of particular work, I use the best set of tools for that job, otherwise I stick with the default.

Note: I don't install the html code mirror plugins in tw5 they seem broken.

Also, it is actually trivial to install codemirror, and I make wikis from my own standard, ie I have a standard wiki of my own rather than empty.html when making new wikis.

Regards
Tony
