Hello everyone!
I discovered TiddlyWiki a couple weeks ago, and I set myself to use it for note taking. I really enjoy the trip so far, it really is a interesting piece of software. The only thing missing for me is a proper way to search with the keyboard only. There’s a shortcut to focus the search field, but unfortunately, you can’t navigate the results with the arrows, and you can’t close the dropdown with escape. I looked around for a plugin, but I wasn’t able to find any that worked for me. So, in a tiddlywiki mindset, I decided to try and make my own. I took a lot of inspiration from VSCode command palette. By default you open it with Ctrl+P, but you can change the shortcut from the tw settings You can search tiddlers by text or with a filter expression, search tags, list all tiddlers with a tag,... If you type ‘>’ you enter the ‘command’ mode and you can select (or search) from a list of commands. You can access help if you type '?' I tried to make it the more customizable I could, there’s still work but it’s already quite customizable. Most of the commands are only tiddlers! It’s a prototype, and my first tw plugin as well, so obviously the code is a mess! It could have unexpected behavior (most probably does) and you shouldn’t use it in your own wikis yet! I tried my best, but for now, the plugin is not really working as tw expects plugins to. The plugin always returns ‘refresh=false’ and manages his own DOM itself, storing state inside of it in the way. I was not sure where to ‘instantiate’ the view, so for now I’m using $:/View/AboveStory which I believe is not ideal. So yeah, really not the tw way. There are still some other problems, I’m not sure how to escape a filter operation parameter for example so the search sometimes returns errors Obviously it’s not really optimized yet either. I do plan to fix it and include more features (I still have a tiddler full of ideas) I’m posting here to see what people think of this prototype and if there’s any interest in such a plugin. If so, I’m probably gonna need some guidance into how things are supposed to work so I can make it work more nicely with tw. Considering the state of the project, I didn’t take the time to write any doc yet.
