Hi,
My TW is a knowledge base (text video image) tiddler content often anywhere between a paragraph and a few pages of text OCR scanned from a book.
My most frequent issue is lack of search in edit mode, this shows up as a time consuming task when I use superscripts to reference or citation end notes. The worst case is when I have an existing sequential set of numeric superscripts ^^1^^, ^^2^^, ^^3^^ and then later I want to insert a new endnote or citation so that I have to manually shuffle up the subsequent end note numbers by incrementing them by 1. The manual aspects of this task are fine but repeatedly searching for the character sequence ^^N^^ by eye in a long text is arduous. My time would be cut down considerably if I could just highlight characters forming a sequence ^^N^^ or even just look for ^^.
When I display a tiddler in view mode I already have implemented a CSS based optional highlighting of superscripts but this is not possible when in tiddler edit mode, I use the highlighting in view mode and try and remember the location of the next superscripts before going back to edit mode.
Are there any issues for someone wanting to try out codemirror if they want to abandon it and move and go back to using the regular tiddlywiki editor? Is this a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? (implying a simpler solution?).
I use TiddlyDesktop on Ubuntu Linux / Tiddloid on Android, I know some browsers support ctrl+F support for searching in the textarea but this does not seem to be supported in TiddlyDesktop.
Thanks…
