I'm usually the one complaining about typing speed! If your "recent" list is open, close it and have the "open" tab open instead -- rendering that long list slows down things. Same thing if you have a lot of tiddlers open.
Another strategy is to use a separate, semi-empty TW for data entry. Then drag and drop your finished tiddler(s) into your working TW. There is a setting that supposedly relates to typing speed, but I never found that changing it helped much. On Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 7:16:20 PM UTC-7 clutterstack wrote: > > Thanks, Mark.
