I believe the TiddlyWiki editing experience is its most significant area for improvement

I’ve said it before; TW is actually not good for note-taking but it is amazing for note-managing

Whilst I 100% agree with this, I actually consider TWC to be better than TW5 for note taking. This is due to a couple of things:

• doubleclick to edit
• the edit view having smaller headers, meaning a greater chance the text in the edit view will align with the text as previously seen in the reading view.

Neither solve the main problems raised, they just minimise some of them, making it much more transparent to flip between read and edit modes.

FWIW, I used the 2click2edit plugin on the first TW5 I setup - and still have it there. But not on any others. I find it equally parts great (when I want to edit) and frustrating (when I want to highlight text but not edit) and after 18 months still haven’t decided which way I want to lean. (sekrit third option: learn enough JS to implement my idea (idea: select-text only when mouse is on text/selectable content · Issue #4 · danielo515/TW5-2click2edit · GitHub ) that doubleclick only activates edit mode when no text has been selected from the doubleclick).

Anyway, all that’s tangent.

For TW5…

This is a point worth considering and could be a key feature for a future version of TiddlyWiki,

Changing the editor is something discussed for 5.4.0. To quote @jeremyruston from [TW2036] Planning for v5.4.0

@jeremyruston

I have also proposed a couple of bigger tentpole features that we have never got around to but that are now table stakes for note taking software. In some cases I don’t expect to have the features fully fleshed out in v5.4.0, but I hope we can at least include the groundwork and necessary backwards compatibility breaks. The best example is WYSIWYG editing functionality.
