Yes. I think it excellent. Very suited to purpose.
Maybe could be disorientating at first? Though that is nothing to do with you. Merely end-users maybe not so familiar with the idea search results can be sectioned??
Whatever. I think it neat!
TT
I like it, but there is a bit of an “overlapping” problem, if the “matching” tiddler is in the middle section as shown in the image below.
Thanks @pmario , yes this is annoying.
Any ideas to resolve this problem are much appreciated!
Best wishes,
Simon
Right. How difficult would it be to make the search a moveable popup?
Just a thought, TT
Too difficult I think. I’m looking for other ideas

Thanks for all the developments Simon, looking really good.
Another idea regarding keyboard shortcuts - which are tricky on tablets and mobile - is it possible to turn the info buttons you currently have on the ‘Keyboard shortcuts’ tiddler into functioning buttons?
For example:
\define searchaction()
<$list filter="[[$:/state/search-panel]is[missing]]" emptyMessage="""
<$action-popup/><$action-deletetiddler $tiddler="$:/state/search-panel/search"/>
""">
<$action-popup $state="$:/state/search-panel" $coords="(0,0,0,0)"/>
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-focus-selector" $param=".tc-search-panel-input" delay={{{ [{$:/config/AnimationDuration}divide[2]round[]] }}}/>
</$list>
\end
<kbd>Alt-Right</kbd>: next column<br>
<kbd>Alt-Left</kbd>: previous column<br>
<kbd>Alt-Shift-S</kbd>: sidebar / panel<br>
<kbd>Alt-D</kbd>: dragging toggle<br>
<kbd>Ctrl-Alt-N</kbd>: new column<br>
<kbd>Ctrl-Alt-M</kbd>: remove column<br>
<kbd>Alt-S</kbd>: scroll-snap-type x toggle<br>
<$button actions=<<searchaction>> class="tc-btn-invisible"><kbd>Alt-F</kbd></$button>: search panel<br>
<hr>
Turns the Alt-S into a button that calls up search. Not sure if it’s a repeatable method for each of the shortcuts but might help us keyboard-less users?
Great work, thanks a lot!

Thanks @Watt ,
yes I’m actually working on a bottom right panel that can be configured to be shown and which contains the search and dragging-toggle buttons
Best wishes,

If it can be positioned anywhere, in any column, as well, would it add flexibility?
No need to reply - just floating ideas. Endless possibilities with your multi-column project!

Very true. The potential apps are huge.
It differs from previous multi-column tools in TW in that it is a very clean interface.
Since you can set heights for Tiddlers you can basically get a surrogate grid too without needing further CSS.
I’m still experimenting. It seems to simplify a lot. Well.

Hi all,
- the search panel can now either be shown on top or on the bottom
- there’s a bottom right toolbar ($:/tags/BottomRightPanel)
Saluti,

Now two important updates are in the tiddlywiki core (latest pre-release):
- the draggable widget has an “enable” attribute
- the startactions and endactions of the draggable widget support more variables like
tv-selectednode-widthandtv-selectednode-height… and others
There’s an outstanding Pull Request for the core which enables scrolling elements in nested scrollable containers into view
Additionally, I’ve made the sidebar panel’s position configurable so that it can be shown on the right or the left
Best wishes,

@BurningTreeC Is it possible to make multicolumn and Krystal plug-in compatible with each other. I don’t intend to use them at the same time. But when I switch to multicolumn or horizontal layouts, they should work smoothly. Is that possible?
Under … MultiColumn Layout — a non-linear personal web notebook – Configuration
I think that may be also very useful on mobile. A simple “Hamburger” icon would conform it to a kinda usage standard, without need for additional tools/plugins for mobile.
Just a thought,
TT
Also the other one … that the saver is for an ENSEMBLE, i.e. not just Column Layout and not just the StoryList, but both at once …
Bingo! 
Hi @arunnbabu81 ,
I have no idea if that’s possible. I haven’t looked at the implementation of the Krystal plugin
I believe there’s no real compatibility
Hi @TiddlyTweeter ,
Where would you like to see the Hamburger icon and what should it do?
Best wishes,
Simon
Good query.
Position: Hamburger, Top-Left fixed, (maybe with a small right margin?) On mobile it’s frequent.
Width on open: Dunno exactly. I’m not sure how much an issue of it is in practice on mobile.
Function: I’d say that a dev-user would edit the sidebar to maybe, make it visually like what @jermolene did for “Contents” in the Menu Bar plugin.
Thoughts
TT
I see you testing that already! You are one smart cookie!
You are a Soldier-of-Love and the Hamburger Menu is a kinda universal salve for menuing. Nice to see it used.
Hat’s off to party …
TT
I think these are different concepts, so this could be confusing: Krystal is a single horizontal storyriver, multicolumn presents multiple vertical storyrivers .

I don’t intend to use those two at the same time. I just want both to run normally when I switch from horizontal storyview/layout to multicolmn storyview/layout and vice versa.
I had tried to use it. It almost work except for few small bugs

Hi @arunnbabu81 , I think making Krystal work as a Theme/Storyview, that can be turned off is the bigger challenge. It is more than a skin, it goes to the bone of TW ;-).
If you have a tamed Version that modestly steps aside if you want it to I would be gratefull if you could share it. Because in principle the Krystal-Layout is great.
