Focus on edit after a tm-edit-tiddler message

[Cade Roux]

I have a set of macros that let me transclude a tiddler and offer a link next to the transcluded tiddler to edit it if it exists or a link button to create it if it's missing.

This is one of the relevant sub-macros for the Edit button:

\define edit-btn(title)

(<$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink">

<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-edit-tiddler" $param="$title$"/>

Edit

</$button>)

\end

After the tm-edit-tiddler message, I want to set the focus on that draft tiddler that comes up so that the cursor is in the text field and not in the title field.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Cade

Bumping this up - is there any way to set the focus to the text instead of the title when you go into edit mode?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Cade

Bumping this up - is there any way to set the focus to the text instead of the title when you go into edit mode?

The mechanism by which the title gets the focus when a tiddler is edited is that the wikitext of the edittext widget includes the focus="true” attribute. So, as things stand, the only way to change that behaviour would be to overwrite that template to remove the focus attribute, and modify the body text tiddler to add a focus attribute.

You may be able to hack things with the new tm-focus-selector message...

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thanks in advance,

Cade
