I’ve taken a few shots at this over the years - a super-lightweight way of making todos quickly inline as I’m making notes. I can think of a few ways to do this, but most of the normal ways involve externally storing each todo somewhere and I’m looking for a no-trace way of doing it. Here’s what I h…

(Editing as I figured it out) Took @CodaCoder ’s code and added timestamp logging (and slightly reformatted) \define todo-done(txt, log) <$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink" tooltip="$log$" style="color: inherit;";>🗹 $txt$ <$vars in="""<<todo-done "$txt$" "$log$">>""" out="""<<tod…

I had to rename some stuff to avoid clashes with mine… \define todo-doneX(txt) <$button class="tc-btn-invisible tc-tiddlylink" tooltip=<<now>> style="color:inherit;";>🗹 $txt$ <$vars in="""<<todo-doneX "$txt$">>""" out="""<<todoX "$txt$">>"""> <$action-setfield text={{{ [all[current]get[text…

Thanks for the help @CodaCoder ! Your version is certainly cleaner. So that tooltip gets locked in until when? It seems like it might accidently “update” at some other point (during other future edits in another area of the same tiddler?) I’ll do some testing. Thanks!

I’m not sure about the locking in of the tooltip – if I’m following what’s going on, it’s kind of captured at the time (each time) the todo-done is created. IOW, todo doesn’t create one, only the transition from todo to todo-done makes a NEW timestamp. It was nice to remove the log param. Be inter…

I do not understand. If I save and refresh, they all show the same time …NOW.

Ah! Of course… dangers of working live and forgetting to come back and look. So the timestamp needs to be off-loaded to a field somewhere via an <$action-setfield/> widget. Good catch @Birthe ! I knew the date thing could get messy :man_shrugging:

@Birthe my version above stores the date in the macro, give it a spin!

@stobot Your version works, no change after refresh. I really like the date and time idea.

To all for your consideration; I like these solutions because they create perhaps what we may call a list of sub tasks. The thing about such lists in single tiddler is they can be generated from a tiddler template and can be used to build checklists in a complex process that you may do more than on…

As we can see all verbs in English have past tense equivalents so on actioning “call” could become called. “Call fred about a dog!” Becomes “Called fred about a dog!” Then if we assume following the first verb is the subject “fred” we could also freelink to the “fred” tiddler if it existed.

Crazy todo concept / replacing current tiddler's text
