Change editor based on device

theibbster · August 16, 2022, 12:13pm

How would go about getting TiddlyWiki to automatically use a different editor based on whether I’m on my computer or on mobile?

I’d like to use the codemirror editor whenever I’m on a computer, but unfortunately codemirror 5 doesn’t play well with android.

Is there a way to detect if I’m on Android and use the basic editor if that’s the case?

TiddlyWiki version: 5.1.13 CodeMirror version: 5.1.13 The codemirror plugin …does not work very well on mobile. Errors pop up frequently and sometimes the written content is even lost. There should be a way to automatically disable codemirror only when on mobile. This issue is a continuation of this discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/Usrl0OQyESY As noted by @Jermolene, the `$:/config/EditorTypeMappings/text/vnd.tiddlywiki` tiddler is not wikified when being read for configuration, so changing the value using a mechanism like the `$reveal` widget is not an option.

Awesome, that’s definitely something I can work with. Thanks for finding it.
