So still experimenting here and learning alot about the keyboard widget !!

It turns out its surprisingly easy to run <action... widgets that are typed into a edit field. Here is a brief version of the code to do just this:

\procedure onEnter()
		{{temp!!command}}
\end

<$keyboard key="enter" actions=<<onEnter>> >
<$edit-text field="command" placeholder="Enter commands here..." />
</$keyboard>

I’v put a demo up here with a bit more functionality (mostly up and down arrow keystrokes to navigate a “history” of command entered - just to eliminate some typing when checking out the demo so far)

Let’s keep it simple at first. Let’s start with one command line function and work from there. I was originally thinking of starting with a useful export function, but realise that it may be a little further down the road.

How about tagging a tiddler? The syntax could be straightforward such as tag-tiddler tag="[[CLI]] [[Done]] [[Review and Check]]" tiddler="[[Tiddler-A]] [[Tiddler-B]]".

At some point we might want to get a sub-group together to discuss this topic. I could even host a TiddlyWiki if you like? Correct me if this is faux-pas or not doable. I don’t really know what the conventions are here.
