How to make a keyboard shortcut for line breaks?

[Peter Erne]

Hi all, I am a newbie to tiddlywiki and have no experience with javascript but with other programming languages. Tiddlywiki is a fascinating tool, which I would like to try out for my personal journal and to build a know how database. Entering text is very quick using markdown, however I am missing the linebreak short cut to enter a <BR>.

I found the Keyboard widget (and the Keyboard Shortcut Tiddlers), but have no clue how to set up. I made a first tiddler with the title $:/config/shortcuts/ShiftEnter showing up in the config page with "Shift-Enter" as shortcut (like other keyboard shortcuts). However: where do I have to enter the action "enter a <BR>" and how does it look like? I guess it is a piece of javascript, but how does it look like and where does it go? Another tiddler, text field of the tiddler mentioned,...?

I tried a second tiddler with the title $:/config/ShortcutInfo/ShiftEnter, tag name $:/tags/KeboardShortcut

Sorry for such dummy questions

Best regards

Peter

Hi,

If you use markdown, you should use the markdown standard, which is defined as <space><space><enter>

So just put 2 spaces at the end of the line and it will create a hard-linebreak

If you want to do the same with TW syntax see:

 - https://tiddlywiki.com/#Hard%20Linebreaks%20in%20WikiText:%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%20-%20Example%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%5D%5D

Or you can use my space-space-newline plugin. It works the same way as MD syntax.

hi mario,

thanks for the very quick reply!  Of course, I would like to stay with the standard :-). However, the first option does not work in my wiki, I just downloaded an new empty.html TW wiki to test, and it does not work there either, unfortunately. Entering "<BR>" works fine but is simply tool long if used often and clutters the text. See screenshot. Any configurations I missed out? I am working on a Win 10 machine.

Hi Peter,

At first guess, it looks as though you may be using standard WikiText (the default in TiddlyWiki), rather than Markdown?

In this case, the triple-double-quote delimiters would be the syntax you want for hard linebreaks (or if you want Markdown-like syntax just for linebreaks, Mario's plugin). Mario's long link

https://tiddlywiki.com/#Hard%20Linebreaks%20in%20WikiText:%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20in%20WikiText%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%20-%20Example%5D%5D%20%5B%5BHard%20Linebreaks%20with%20CSS%5D%5D

brings up the relevant TiddlyWiki docs for that.

Quick excerpt from Hard Linebreaks in WikiText:

"""

This is a line

and this is a new line

while this is yet another line

and this is the final one

apart from this one

"""

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hi Chris,

thanks for the clarification! For me, bullet lists and numbered lists (including these line breaks are an important feature and I am using STROLL > i made an nteresting observation: I downloaded Marios plugin. It works in original TW with reasonable output: also for lists it works great, an space-space-enter at the end produces a new paragraph and for a next bullet/numbers I need to again hit * or #. However, in STROLL, hitting space-space-enter at the end of a bullet paragraph produces a correctly indented new line but with a (unneccessary) * or # at the beginning. No clue how to turn this off. Any idea?

kind regards

Peter

Test it, I think it is due to the plugin $:/plugins/sq/editor-autolist. If you do not need it, you could try to disable it.
