Is there any way to extend how the editor works?

[Scott Kingery]

I'm building a wiki for note-taking. Yes, another one :)

When I take notes, I tend to start my lines with * for bullet points

* Like this

** and a subpoint like this

Is there any plugin to add to my efficiency by auto-creating the * when I hit the enter key for a new line?

* typing along and hit enter

* <--and that gets auto created so I can keep taking notes in outline form

• some editors do this
• even the editor for GG seems to do it 
• like this
• and this
• and this

** and a subpoint like this

how do those editors know to make a subpoint? a key combo with the enter key?

possibly assign wikitext * or # to a custom defiened keyboard shortcut?

Hi Scott,

I'd do the following:

 - Open ControlPanel: Keyboard Shortcut - tab

 - Select "list-bullet" configuration

 - edit

 - add ctrl-Enter

Now your workflow can be:

Enter some text ctrl-Enter ... will add and remove the bullet point. Enter ... will start a new line.

or

ctrl-Enter type some new text.

I did test it and I think it's an incredible fast workflow. ... at least for me ;)

have fun!

I use auto hotkey for similar actions. I have used the number pad enter key to do a down arrow and home to move to the beginning of the next line.

You could do what you want. "Home, * end of line enter"

But isn't ctl-enter already used for closing the current tiddler? Or am I the only one that finds that useful?

 I use the default cntrl enter for closing a tiddler in edit mode– very handy along with esc

You are right. ... I don't use ctrl-Enter to save. I even find it inconvenient. ... But that doesn't matter.

I wanted to point out, that there is a simple way to create a fast workflow.

The other possibility would be to create a complete new shortcut, that does a "insert linebreak and start with *<space>". But there is an insert * shortcut already. ... So why create a new one.

enter ctrl-shift-L (list bullet)

enter ctrl-shift-N (list numbered)

a keyboard shortcut combining the 2 would be handy

or just modify the list-bullet & list-numbered shortcuts to suit an user's needs?
