New User questions about tiddlers and tags

[Diego Mesa]

Hello all,

I am new to TW5, and I have a couple questions:

Tiddlers:

• How can I make the currently open tiddlers "persist" after a refresh/restart? Like a "pick up where you left off" feature?
• How can I make a core set of tiddlers always show on startup? (in conjunction with the feature above, this set would show up first, followed by my last open/active set)
• How can I change the "draft of new tiddler" layout, so that the textbox shows more empty lines than one?
  

Tags:

• How can I make it, so that whenever I make a new tag, its tiddler is automatically populated with all posts that have that tag?
• Right now, I manually click a new tag and type the following:
• Posts that have this tag: "[tag[CURRENT_TAG]sort[title]]">>
• I'd like to have a "tag cloud" showing tags by sizes corresponding to how many posts I have, etc. I see a general demo of a world cloud on the d3 demo, but that doesnt seem specific to TW5? I also see a bunch of old plugins on an old website tiddlytools, but from what I can gather those are for a much older version of tiddlywiki and wouldnt work with TW5.

Thank you!

Diego

Hello again!

Sorry about that - seems I found an answer to my first two questions:

• How can I make the currently open tiddlers "persist" after a refresh/restart? 

• How can I make a core set of tiddlers always show on startup? 

Both of these can be done using the "Default Tidders" option in the control pannel. I have it set to:

[[IMPORTANT TIDDELR 1]]

[[IMPORTANT TIDDELR 2]]

[[IMPORTANT TIDDELR 3]]

[list[$:/StoryList]]

With this, I can see #1-3 always show up, followed by whatever I was working on last time (if it was auto/manual saved before closing)

go to tiddlywiki.com and open a new tiddler. There is more than one line in the text editor.

So you may have a plugin that changes those settings. ....

Thank you Mario it was a big help. I've followed your posts and made my changes! 

Additional question:

I am experimenting with an "idea" and "followup" tag that I place immediately next to the sentences of interest in a long post. It looks like this:

----------------------------------------

TALK-TITLE TIDDLER

tag:Conference-title, tag:Talks

... long notes...

random idea #[[idea]]

... long notes...

----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------

CONFERENCE-TITLE TIDDLER

tag:Conferences

''Talks Attended'': 

<<list-links "[tag[Conference Title]tag[Talks]]">>

''Daily Journals'':

<<list-links "[tag[Conference Title]tag[Journal]sort[title]]">>

''Followup/Ideas'':

<<list-links "[[Ideas]backlinks[]] [[Followup]backlinks[]] +[tag[Conference Title]]">>

----------------------------------------

Right now I have to type "#[[Idea]]" and "#[[Followup]]" next to the parts of interest I want to get back to. I dont want to tag the entire post, because then I'll still need to mark the long post for easy reference. 

My questions:

• Can we have a cmd+shift+p (like sublime and jupyter notebook) bring up a popup with fuzzy-finding to Go-To any tiddler? 
• I saw there are some old posts and even an old extension for tiddly classic that did something similar. Is there a a plan to revive this?
• Can I add something like the above so that when I type `#` I get an in-line popup to fill in page titles? 
• A simpler version of this would be just to automatically parse the `#` character and make the word its attached to a link by inserying the `[[` and `]]`.
• Not sure how to handle `#` with spaces in the title?

Did you try CTRL-L which opens the link edit-toolbar.

Go to tiddlywiki.com  -> new tiddler -> ctrl-l -> start typing: "hel..."  and see what happens

This would need a new toolbar button. A little bit of wikitext similar to the link-button and a new plugin with some .js code.

The "stamp" button, imo can't handle it out of the box, but would be worth a try.

...no promises
