There are a few angles to this topic. If the aim is to improve the authoring experience you may be interested in my ongoing EditorMagic project. I think the concept of a balloon popup <https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/examples/builds/balloon-editor.html> editor inspired it. I elaborate on the concept here: Trigger Custom Popus via Custom Strings <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3784>. While this is not quite the same thing as directly editing the wysiwyg text, it would make for a *much *more efficient editing experience. Possibly, it may also be adapted so that it *is* possible to use it in tiddler view mode: If all elements were "targettable" from view mode, perhaps if they had a div automatically added to them, then maybe this would be possible.
>From some fiddling with WordPress years ago I recall -- possibly only in some themes -- a system with *three *"views": One showing the finished static look (what we call "view mode"), one showing the underlying code (perhaps what is the html code) and one "in between layer" that was a kind of a...hmm... "mixed view", for example a table that in the finished look would have no visible borders did have borders here for easy selection (e.g to set visibility), bold text really was bold (like in finished look), hovering an image showed it's resize-handles etc. A high-but-still-modifiable UI level. I can see several improvements along the way. For example, for defining a macro we "shouldn't" have to type "\define ... \end". It "should" be one tiddler per macro. Setting the tiddler "sort" (type?) as macro automatically adds the $:/tags/Macro (ideally hidden) and the title of the tiddler is the macro title. There's also automatically a field for the parameter list. In fact, I think we are sometimes too exposed to Tiddler Philosophy. This stands in the way when composing larger texts. I would like for "compound tiddlers" where editing a tiddler really enables access to multiple tiddlers. I made this long ago but, like much else, I don't think I ever published it: http://supertiddlers.tiddlyspot.com/#About%20SuperTiddlers That site actually has several features but for our discussion, only the "SuperTiddlers" concept is relevant. Be sure to read the About tab and try out the Demos - especially the over-the-top Styles demo - and hover over the text(s) in it. As I outline in the About tab, the point is that tiddlers miss context for longer narratives but with a UI change we could easily solve this. Note that tiddlers do *not *need to use multiple sections like that and everything is still just tiddlers. The relevance to Edgaras OP here is that a "SuperTiddler" let's you edit a small portion at a time of what is seen. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
