Configurable Shortcut Key to Open Control Panel

Tips & Tricks
#1

Back to an old discussion and a solution by @telumire in his TW-tips — useful information collected from the tiddlywiki community (telumire.be). Here is instruction to create shortcut key for opening the $:/ControlPanel

Quick and Dirty

  • Create a new tiddler
  • Tag it with $:/tags/KeyboardShortcut
  • Create a field called key
    • Put alt-c as the value for this field
  • In the text field put the action as below
<$navigator story="$:/StoryList" history="$:/HistoryList">
<$action-navigate $to="$:/ControlPanel">
</$navigator>
  • Save

To give a try download telumire-shortcut to open the control panel (alt-c).json (379 Bytes)
and drag and drop into https://tiddlywiki.com

  • Press alt-c to open the $:/ControlPanel
  • Customize the shortcut key by editing the key field, e.g use alt-m

Slow and recommended in official docs
To create a shortcut key as explained in How to create keyboard shortcuts you need three tiddlers

  • a tiddler keep the configurable shortcut key
  • a tiddler to store the information/description about the key (is language dependent)
  • a tiddler to keep the actions

I think tw-command-palette plugin support TiddlyWiki’s shoutcut mechanism

Only need to config open-command-palette in the standard shortcut manager.
