Two ideas for hiding and expanding

Hi everyone

I came up with two solutions this morning for needs that I had:

1) a toggle button in viewing mode that hides / reveals content in the tiddler text, hidden by CSS

2) a row of toggle buttons that hide / reveal elements of the edittemplate (title, tags, type, field, and custom user content), in order to maximize screen real estate for editing.

See them both here: https://giffmex.org/experiments/expand.edittemplate.html

Open invitation and encouragement for someone here to refine either of these and turn it into a plugin.

Blessings, Dave

Thanks for sharing your work. Can I suggest you reverse the order of label and checkbox's?

title , tags , type , fields

In my view this also a little more intuitive for settings, rather than say in a task list.

Regards

Tony

Good job David!

May be you could add a button for custom to go to full screen editor!

Nifty feature-- instead of a plugin, perhaps a template?

Along the lines of Mohammad's suggestion-- a in-tiddler button-- actually the stock button to hide the sidebar...

<$reveal state="$:/state/sidebar" type="nomatch" text="no">
<$button set="$:/state/sidebar" setTo="no" tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/HideSideBar/Hint}} aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/HideSideBar/Caption}} class="tc-btn-invisible">{{$:/core/images/chevron-right}}</$button>
</$reveal>
<$reveal state="$:/state/sidebar" type="match" text="no">
<$button set="$:/state/sidebar" setTo="yes" tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/ShowSideBar/Hint}} aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/ShowSideBar/Caption}} class="tc-btn-invisible">{{$:/core/images/chevron-left}}</$button>
</$reveal>

Glad to be occasional help (usually of no help cause of irrevelance)

Feliz Navidad, be safe

Hi everyone

Merry Christmas!

Instead of updating the original file posted, I uploaded a new file with the changes mentioned by Tony M and A Gloom. I am not sure if A Gloom's fix answers Mohammad's query or not.
