I understand that features in TW5.1.23 supported the creation of an advanced tiddlywiki select feature, where you can start typing the part of a title of a tiddler and use the keyboard to select the tiddler. I expect we can add a selection filter around it as well. Unlike the default select widget you do not need the drop down to include a fixed set of tiddler, just those that match the filter and the search string provided.
I was wondering if anyone packaged a solution so we can all make use of this as a title picker in and outside the editorToolbar?
My own attempts to do this have ended up in confusion.
That solution is “comprehensive”, but it still faces the loss of focus issue, perhaps not on the pre-release now?
In many ways I was hoping to find a simple and single tiddler title picker with specific functionality. Especially with the “find” to progressively filter the list.
By its very nature it seems to me this is a feature that belongs in the core, just as a date/time, color, icon pickers that are available. There is the link EditorToolbar button, but it would be nice from the viewTemplate and prefiltered, set fields or other tiddlers. Also to add/remove from a list field. Eg Select related tiddlers.
If there is no “prior art” others can share, I will make use of edit-list.
@TW_Tones I might not be understanding your workflow correctly, but I assume you mean something other than like snowgoon’s Edit-CompText Demo — a demo of the Edit-CompText plugin for TiddlyWiki5 (snowgoon88.github.io) which I love and have also suggested is (in my opinion) fundamental enough for core consideration. I believe I remember someone saying the methodology would need tweaking before it would be considered though.
