Undo/Redo actions

#1

Hi All,

Very general question , is there a way to have an undo/redo functionality , ala excel word… etc…
so basically reverse any actions taken

#2

Undo functionality would be very useful in the editor, to undo accidental deletions while typing.

#3

Until you have closed the editor, you can always press Ctrl-Z (on Windows machines) to undo edits. This is a browser feature, not TiddlyWiki.

Within the tiddler editor’s HTML textarea control basic undo handling comes “for free” using CTRL-Z. Once you press the “done” button, the changes are saved to the TWCore internal tiddler store and cannot be undone.

General-purpose undo/redo handling for changes to the internal tiddler store is a much more involved proposition, as there are numerous $action-* and input widgets that can modify a tiddler, and changes to tiddlers can occur on every keystroke or mouse click.

Thanks for the suggestion, it works on linux too, at least in my setup (Arch Linux, Gnome, Firefox).

Of course it Using Timimi or other configured backups if you have a major item to restore you can open an appropriate backup file and drag the earlier version onto the live wiki.

  • It is also possible to build in the generation of tiddler versioning allowing in wiki backups of tiddlers.

@Mohammad’s trash plugin that allows recovery of deleted tiddlers could be adapted to store archived or previous versions as well.
