Hi @BurningTreeC
I kept testing within TiddlyDesktop and didn’t find any problems, except for one thing that is odd: in TD both the vertical and horizontal scrolling (while navigating tiddlers with keyboard shortcuts) is much slower than it is in Firefox and the setting “scroll duration in x-direction” (within the plugin’s own settings) doesn’t seem to do anything. TW’s own animation duration setting isn’t related to this I think, I tried and it made no change in this.
(Even an option where one could turn off this scrolling animation altogether would be great in case it’s difficult to solve to give control over the duration to the user in numbers - because the slightly jarring nature of jumping instantly could be preferable to the current somewhat slowness in TD. [In my case it’s all I’d need, because I prefer it to be 0ms and just jump, but in general most people like to have a little ease I guess])
One possible improvement for the plugin would be to increase the utility of the search function by incorporating keyboard navigation up and down, and upon selecting an item from the list (either by enter or mouse click) it’d close the search “layout” (where it isolated the searched for tiddler[s]) and jump to, and focus on the selected tiddler.
I apologize if any of these two were mentioned already, this thread is a quite long and I didn’t find either by searching in it.
One other little thing I noticed and it’s probably not something that could be solved within this plugin is that with the commandpalette plugin if I open a new tiddler it always opens tiddlers in the first column and doesn’t select them to be the currently active/highlighted tiddler, it only jumps to them to show them on screen but the selected tiddler remains the one that was selected before the search. The normal search box seems to be working wonderfully and the new tiddler gets the focus as it should (but I prefer to use command palette). Am I correct to assume that there should be a change in the command palette plugin to make it work with your multi-column layout? (this is something that happens both in TD and Firefox) (other commands with that plugin like “close all tiddlers” etc. also only effect the first column, regardless of what column is selected.)
Let me know if I should write these on github instead, if that is better I’ll do it over there.
Thank you again for your amazing work,
Adam
