[Question] Keyboard shortcut to get focus on the textfield.

[Boris Kalinin]

I want to use my mouse as little as possible. But when you create a new tiddler and your focus is by default on the title field then if you press [Tab] button you will first set focus on the tag field, then on the control buttons which are plenty. I want to create a shortcut that will send my focus directly on the textfield. How should I proceed?

I've created "$:/config/ShortcutInfo/activate-textfield" tiddler, set the shortcut to "ctrl-2". Now should I create another tiddler with <$keyboard> in the textfield? What action should I choose - action-navigate or tm-focus-selector?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely, Boris.

Hi Boris,

there's a hidden setting $:/config/EditTabIndex

you can set the text of that tiddler to 1, which allows you to tab from the title to the tags field and from the tags field directly to the text field

all the best,

BTC

The problem I have, when i tab away from tags field, the tags dropdown stays active (open)....

[Joshua Fontany]

Aaaah, I'm not the only one who noticed this (tabbing into the field opens a popup, tabbing out of it leaves the popup open).

I am sorry but that setting does not exist in my file.

Yes it's normal since it's a hidden setting ;)

Refer to https://tiddlywiki.com/#Hidden%20Setting%3A%20Tab%20Index%20for%20Edit-Inputs

But like Edgaras and Joshua, tags dropdown is annoying.

Lately I've put the focus on the text content directly now that it's possible to do so, and I'll take care of the title later.

Merci Sylvain.

Hi Sylvain,

Where is the actual file to edit?

If I do an advanced search for it, I get a list of plugins in $:/core but the file isn't on the list.

Regards

Jon

The file doesn't exit, just create it :)

See in tiddlywiki.com, this is a missing link.

I see, thanks.

With most hidden settings, the tiddler for the setting is often not present because its not needed till the setting is made.

You will have to create a tiddler named $:/config/EditTabIndex with "1" in its text field

$:/config/EditTabIndex is used by the following template tiddlers:

 $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/body/editor
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/fields
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/title
$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/type

references in the following manner:

<$edit-text field="_canonical_uri" class="tc-edit-fields" tabindex={{$:/config/EditTabIndex}}></$edit-text>

so theoretically, the tabindex parameter could be cleared or set to a different config tiddler perhaps for skipping/omittng the $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags tiddler?
