Keyboard Shortcut to show/hide edit button

[Atul Grover]

Hi all,

I am trying to add a shortcut... I don't know what the first line of the code should be... Please help.

<$list filter="[[ $:/core/ui/Buttons/edit ]is[missing]] [{ $:/core/ui/Buttons/edit  }removeprefix[show]]" emptyMessage="""

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit" text="show"/>

""">

<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit" text="hide"/>

</$list>

Regards AG

Try this: 

<$list filter="[[$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit]get[text]!match[show]]" emptyMessage="""

   <$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit" text="hide"/>""">

   <$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit" text="show"/>

</$list> 

Notes:

* if the config tiddler does not exist or has content matching "show", then the "hide" action is performed

* otherwise the "show" action is performed

Also, you can make the code more compact, by defining the config tiddler title using a macro

and using a filtered transclusion instead of a $list widget to set the content to show or hide, like this:

\define config() $:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit

<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<config>> text={{{ [<config>get[text]!match[show]then[show]else[hide]] }}}/>

enjoy,

addendum:

When used as a shortcut, I'm not sure that the macro definition for the config tiddler title will be available.

If this is the case, then you can also write it this way:

<$vars config="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit">

<$action-setfield $tiddler=<<config>> text={{{ [<config>get[text]!match[show]then[show]else[hide]] }}}/>

</$vars>

-e
