Keyboord plugin: ideas on how to implement a shortcut for deleting a tiddler field while in edit mode

[nakedmind]

Hi guys,

I just want to ask for ideas that will point me in the right direction on how to implement a shortcut for deleting a tiddler field while in edit mode using the Keyboord plugin by BTC.

Thanks!

Hi  @nakedmind,

what I'm using at burningtreec.github.io/KeeBoord is the <$keyboard> widget to do what your asking.

when a tiddler has a field, you can focus it and press ctrl-alt-d and it gets deleted.

these actions are in the tiddler $:/core/macros/tag-picker

if you want to do the same with an external keyboard shortcut (a tiddler tagged with $:/tags/KeyboardShortcut) then you would have to know the field you want to delete. Anyway, if you want to do that, you'd do it like this:

<$fieldmangler tiddler={{$:/temp/current-tiddler}}>

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-remove-field" $param="my-field"/>

</$fieldmangler>

or 

<$action-deletefield $tiddler={{$:/temp/current-tiddler}} $field="my-field"/>

... but these two examples would work only with the specified field and that's a bit cumbersome

I'd prefer the <$keyboard> widget solution. Look at the bottom of $:/core/macros/tag-picker

Can I just re-use your shortcut? I tested ctrl-alt-D at your demo site and it's indeed working. But it's not showing up in the list of shortcuts. How were you able to assign the shortcut?

[nakedmind]

Never mind. I figured it out. I created the tiddlers $:/config/ShortcutInfo/delete-selected-field and $:/config/shortcuts/delete-selected-field. 

Assigned it to ctrl-alt-d. And now I can delete fields using keyboard! :)

Does this project have a new home? I'm getting a 404 error at GH. (https://burningtreec.github.io/ -- "There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.")

Hey Mark,

In this thread: 

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/H8QthhK0wZk/zAffO5nvBgAJ

BTC mentioned that big parts of the plugin were moved to the core, and the other parts were moved into the TW5-Navigator:

The reason I ask is that it is in Dave's toolmap. Should the toolmap entry be replaced with the Navigator entry, or completely dropped?

Thanks!
