I have a number of ideas to make naming tiddlers much easier, help you overcome duplicates and time or date suffix to uniquify or deriving a title from other information available such as current project, existing tasks or tiddler type. The fact is this is often called for in these forums. Even automating titles in context.
- I have some proof of concept ideas that look promising but I thought it would be nice if it was extensible by others and so we could share these tools.
Then I had this idea an “Editor toolbar for title and other fields” so for example I could use, create and assign editor toolbar buttons to a version of a field editor, generally, or with the button condition field, to one of more fields.
- Imagin when editing a tiddler title, a custom editor toolbar button for that field appeared! or to edit other fields with a custom or general toolbar appearing.
- You could use this for editing any field and provide existing or editor toolbar buttons making use of the existing suite of features in developing editorToolbar buttons, many of these which will also prove useful in a standard text editor.
- The same option could be applied to nominated fields in the editor, edit fields template.
- Auto complete and even code mirror may work here.
- A switch to indicate text or text area would be good.
I have been doing a quick hack and this may be easier to do than I thought however I would like your thoughts before I influence them.
