Suggestions ... Hopes ... Dreams ... (aka Houston: awaiting lift off)

[Josiah]

I miss that there is no ongoing thread here for suggestions. This is my tuppence worth. PLEASE correct me if I got things wrong and its done already and i will excise myself ...

• That the already  excellent "stamp/snip" tool is enhanced so that it can cope with BEFORE & AFTER. Meaning you highlight what you want to change and it inserts boilerplate before and after the highlighted text. The same as the other controls like bold and italic do. IF the "Snip" tool could be enhanced with this I really think it could improve productivity. 

• That the editor has a NOTE THIS TIDDLER button (noting the full title). Why? So that in editing OTHER tiddlers you can have a drop down that will insert either the LINK to the Tiddler noted OR the basic code for a TRANSCLUSION of it.

By coping with before and after you mean you want custom tools that wrap a selected text. That is doable. You can create a custom wrap button for your editor toolbar by cloning the shadow tiddler for the button for bold or italic, and changing the text to be inserted before and after, and to replace the button icon.

[David Gifford]

I am not following you on the second idea. It sounds like you want a button that will in a sense pin the title of a frequently used tiddler to the editor interface, for quick pasting into other tiddlers. I use an edittemplate tiddler to do this. Edit a tiddler at my http://giffmex.org/mn.html and you will see the window above the editor buttons. I use it to paste the sources of quotes from books I read, but you could put any kind of text there that you want handily available. The tiddler for this is

$:/.giffmex/Source

Also, see $:/.giffmex/EditorToolbar/Wrap/Greek in that same link above, as an example of an editor toolbar button I made to wrap selected text with CSS.

Thanks. That IS a useful tip. I was hoping for generic for that: not a specific limited to one pair of strings, which is what I think you mean? Do, please, correct me if I got this wrong.

[David Gifford]

Ah, gotcha. Where you push the button and get input boxes for both the before and after text...

I was not clear enough.

Take the case ... you want to INSERT the title of another tiddler (normally either as a link OR a transclusion) in the one you are currently editing but can't quite remember what it's tile is ... so, you go out of the editor to find its title ... 

In my use case there are many, though finite numbers, of Tiddlers I constantly link to or transclude. 

I just thought that being able to ADD the current tiddler you are editing to a "favourites" list (to link to/transclude elsewhere later) could ease the hassle of this process.

Am I clear enough yet? 

[David Gifford]

got it.

Ciao David

Exactly that. Or a delimiter like "///" needed between the two strings on "before and after" Snippets.

There actually are some issues labeled improvement and some labeled new feature at github. IMO pull requests and +1 reactions are very welcome.

have fun!

PS: And when you are at it, you can "star" the tiddlywiki project, to push it a little bit.

Ciao PMario

Good answer.

My issue is I don't feel up to Github. It needs you to be precise.

Hi David and Josiah

This clipboard stuff is so great, I could not resist … a clipboard plugin is in the making. Stay tuned!

Have a great day,
Thomas
