Minimap - a minimap for TiddlyWiki5

Hi there,

Here’s a plugin I made that creates an Editor-style minimap for the story-river.
It can be used to scroll down/up the story river and is especially useful as it gives an overview about the river if you have many tiddlers open.

It’s made of a GENERIC <$minimap> widget that can be used anywhere.

Let me know if you like it, if you find any issues or if you have ideas to make this better.

Thanks,
Simon

I love it Simon!

Would it be possible to add a tooltip with the title of the tiddler currently hovered by the minimap cursor/cabin/whatever it’s called?

Another very useful tool in TW’s toolbox, thanks for your great plugins. :folded_hands:

Hi @BurningTreeC that is a great idea, and it works very well.

The minimap “steals” horizontal space from the SideBar. This can cause the SideBar contents to wrap excessively, especially when “fluid story,fixed sidebar” layout is used, making the SideBar layout almost unusable. To address this, a manual adjustment to “Sidebar width” is needed to account for the width of the minimap. It would be nice if this adjustment could be automatically applied.

Another enhancement would be to provide a “toggle minimap” button (or checkbox) so the minimap can be easily hidden.
