If you like to install TW-Utility you can have Kookma plugin library in your wiki.

Simply download attached tiddler and drag and drop into your wiki!

Then like Official Plugins, go to $:/ConrolPanel, Plugins, Get more plugin

and then select Kookma Plugin Library and from the list install or reinstall Utility

Good luck

Hi Mohammad,

Really nice. But when I used the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+L, my screen blacked out. I found that I was logged out of linux Mint at had to login again.

Out of author mode for sure ;-)

Maybe I've missed something obvious. How do I prevent others from switch to Author mode? I've implemented a crude version of this on my own with a password entry tiddler setting a data tiddler:

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/_secret" $value=""/>


<$edit-text
tiddler="$:/_secret"
default=""
tag="input"
type="password"
placeholder="enter secret here..."/>

And then updating a bunch of core/UI items that I don't want displayed if the password isn't entered correctly:

Example: $:/core/ui/Buttons/delete

<$reveal type="match" state="$:/_secret" text="the_secret_password">
<$button message="tm-delete-tiddler" tooltip={{$:/language/Buttons/Delete/Hint}} aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/Delete/Caption}} class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>>>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/core/images/delete-button}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text"><$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/Delete/Caption}}/></span>
</$list>
</$button>
</$reveal>

But this method has me editing lots of core tiddlers (which scares me and makes updates challenging).

Birthe,

 Change the shortcuts, I tested on Windows and it works. Let me know if it works.

Chris,

 Thank for sharing. Actually what I proposed in TW-Utility is just hiding elements for readers not familiar with TW and they need wiki to read it like a software tutorial.

I think from security point of view it has no effects.

Mohammad,

Ctrl+Alt+A works, Ctrl+Alt+L locks the screen. I tried Ctrl+Alt +R instead and that works for the toggle.

Thanks for sharing.

Great Mohammad !

Your read/write mode is very well packaged !

Really like you find solution for dropzone (I'll see your another thread to know). It was the last thing I've need for my own system read only.

Cheers,

Sylvain

3. Click open library under Kookma Plugin Library
4. Find utility and click install, or reinstall if you update utility
5. Save and reload your wiki

II. Standalone configuration

Follow these instructions when using Tiddlywiki as a standalone HTML file:

1. Drag and drop $:/plugins/kookma/utility into your wiki
2. Save and reload your wiki

III. Client-Server configuration

Follow these instructions when using Tiddlywiki under Node.js:

   • To download you can go to https://github.com/kookma/TW-Utility, and click on Clone or download

   3. Take care to retain commas to separate items, but do not terminate the last item in a list with a comma
4. Restart the server

	],
	"themes": [
		"tiddlywiki/vanilla",
