Keyboard Shortcut to Save

[Ken Gray]

Is there a keyboard shortcut that would do a manual save (the 'Save" icon)?

There isn't a pre-defined shortcut, but it is easy to add one:

1) Create tiddler $:/MyShortcuts/save-file, tagged with $:/tags/KeyboardShortcut, containing:

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-save-wiki" />

2) add a field named "key", with a field value of:

((save-file))

3) Create another tiddler, $:/config/shortcuts/save-file, containing:

ctrl-shift-S

4) Create another tiddler, $:/config/ShortcutInfo/save-file, containing:

{{$:/language/Buttons/SaveWiki/Hint}}

Notes:

* step (1) defines the action to perform

* step (2) defines the binding to the keystroke definition in step (3)

* step (3) defines the keystroke combination to use

* step (4) defines the description of the shortcut

That's it.  You can then use ctrl-shift-S to save the file.

enjoy,

Awesome!  Thanks.

odd, though.  when hit it, it opens the 'import' tiddler.  That's not supposed to happen is it?

I actually changed it to ctl-alt-s and it works perfectly!

thanks.
