Help: Display title of the "Active" Tiddler (of the River)

[wattahay]

except I’m not sure that there is such a thing as the active tiddler of the river. (I would rather not use the buttons on the Open tab to create the var, as sometimes scrolling is how I get to tiddlers.)

It would be the tiddler that has primary focus in the river.

I want to display the title in the sidebar without a link.

<<currentTiddler>> seems to exist relative to a tiddler using it - not from the sidebar.

Additionally, I had trouble finding a solution preventing a link for system tiddlers. I tried to use the CSS pointer-events: none; inside a span, div, and link tag.

Thanks very much for any help. I’m slightly embarrassed to ask.

The current Tiddler is more like your current address it is not about all addresses.

You can find a form of current tiddler in $:/Story List!!current-tiddler which is stored in that field.

<$text text="$:/Story List!!current-tiddler"/>

However I have an unpublished solution here for focus tiddlers https://focus-tiddler.tiddlyhost.com/ and some experience with this subject.

Perhaps you could tell us why you want this and we may have better solitions.

Whoops, I think this is the same thing:

Another wild idea. Identifying main tiddler in the river

I have written various supporting tiddlers for various types of tiddlers. Ex. A photograph tiddler has a supporting tiddler to create and edit an image map. When a photograph tiddler is viewable in the river (not in draft mode) this supportive tiddler is available in the sidebar to identify faces (an image map) where the user can associate the defined areas in the photograph to other tiddlers (such as a person tiddler). The user does not need to know HTML. The idea is as you edit the areas in th…
