Hello,

I've been building my TiddlyWiki offline, as a single HTML file, using TiddlyDesktop on macOS 10.15.7.

I don't know anything about other ways of running TW, so to install plugins I tried the drag-and-drop method.

I wonder what exactly should I drag, because everything I try ends up only importing a Tiddler named "Untitled 1" which contains only the text about:blank#blocked ?

I'm most interested in adding to my wiki the TiddlyTools.com plugins that help with tagging and navigation, so probably at least the TiddlerTweakerPlugin and most or all of the NavigationPackage plugins.

Thanks!

http://TiddlyTools.com is for TiddlyWiki Classic, and cannot be used with TiddlyWiki5.

With regard to the NavigationPackage, some of the features of those plugins can now be done directly with TiddlyWiki 5, though with some differences in functionality:

BreadcrumbsPlugin = Sidebar>open

RearrangeTiddlersPlugin = drag-and-drop titles in Sidebar>open

CollapseTiddlersPlugin = more>fold/unfold command in Tiddler Toolbar

SinglePageModePlugin = $:/ControlPanel, Appearance>Story View tab, "zoomin" option

In addition, I've re-written some of the NavigationPackage plugins for TiddlyWiki5... with some differences in functionality:

GotoPlugin

http://tiddlytools.com/InsideTW/#TiddlyTools%2FGoto - button with popup panel

http://tiddlytools.com/InsideTW/#TiddlyTools%2FGoto.svg - image for button

http://tiddlytools.com/InsideTW/#TiddlyTools%2FGoto%2FPanel - popup panel controls

http://tiddlytools.com/InsideTW/#TiddlyTools%2FGoto%2FOptions - popup with options

Ah, so the plugins couldn't be dragged into TW5 because they're meant for TWC, and besides many of them are already kind of built in.

I wonder if there exists a way to navigate TW5 more through the keyboard?

I know you can use arrow keys + enter to open Tiddlers from a drop-down list, but can you also initiate a search to open such a drop-down list, and maybe jump back & forth (or cycle) between open Tiddlers, using only the keyboard?

Best regards,

Teo

Teo,

A lot of people have demanded keyboard access for a long time and many options and solutions exist within tiddlywiki, the prelease has some update that will make this easier in future however in the mean time you could look at some existing solutions such as https://souk21.github.io/TW-commandpalette/ to name but one. TiddlyWiki has a keyboard shortcuts solution built in, the editor may trap keystrokes differently and some have introduced shortcuts to their own solutions/plugins.

The pre-release now has a comprehensive way to also trap modifier keys https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#modifier%20Variable

Hi Tones,

Thanks for the overview on the keyboard access question.

I'll check those out and search for possibly existing solutions when thinking of my use cases.

Teo
