2014-11-14 Thread Tobias Beer


 Just give me an example: how many programs that do you use allows double 
 click for editing something? Word? Excel? Notepad? LibreOffice? dokuWiki? 
 facebook? google Drive? How does programs manage double click?


tw2.;-)

You know how many times I have double-clicked or CTR-ENTERed in facebook? :D
 

 I agree with that part, editing large text could be too much scoll but 
 even in this case I would prefer an alternative solucion. Maybe a floating 
 button, visible on-hover, maye a context menu.


Yes, those are good ideas as well, perhaps even an on-hover toolbar, 
dynamically reattached to the bottom of a tiddler or floating in a fixed 
position at the bottom of the story-display so long as we're in the middle 
of a tiddler going beyond that screen  All that sounds like a lot more 
work, though.

Best wishes, Tobias.

 As far as I know, it's not planned. IMO the main reason is, that users 
 expect a browser double click to select a word and not change the view 
 mode.

To me, that's the single most feature used when editing a tw and that's 
usually what I do in my wikis... I edit them. So, it would be more than 
welcome to have that option, whereas selecting a word by double-clicking is 
something I hardly ever do.

I think you are being a little selfish here. You want your feature back, 
it's ok, but is not te expected behavior for most of the users. Double 
click for edit was the most anoying feature that TWC has, and I hated it a 
lot. In my work we use a ticketing system where I edit a lot of 
information, I promisse, and I hate the double click to edit feautre that 
some fields has.  What's wrong with clicking on a button?

In matters of personal workflow, there are clearly different preferences 
for the double-click behavior... and, despite what most of the users may 
want, that isn't an argument against offering an optional alternative 
behavior when possible, even if it is only desired by a minority of users.

Rather than arguing about individual use-case preferences, the discussion 
should be about whether or not the core architecture supports the ability 
to modify the double-click behavior, either by use of existing 
configuration features, or by writing a plugin.  Of course, if that kind of 
customization isn't currently possible, then the discussion should shift to 
what kind of changes would be needed to allow alternative double-click 
handling, and the relative cost/benefit of implementing those changes in 
the core.

Also, just for the record, in TiddlyWiki Classic, the ability to turn OFF 
the doubleclick-to-edit behavior is VERY simple... in [[ToolbarCommands]], 
change +edit to edit in the ViewToolbar slice definition.  Just ONE 
character to change, and your hatred for the most annoying feature that 
TWC has is GONE.

enjoy,

Hi Danielo,
 

 You want your feature back, it's ok, but is not te expected behavior for 
 most of the users.


In a visitor / web context I totally agree; from an editors point of view 
not so much ...but this distinction concerns more than click-behavior.
 

 Double click for edit was the most anoying feature that TWC has, and I 
 hated it a lot.


I can safely say that it took me a little bit to get the hang of it and 
there has probably been that moment where I thought: *arghh,ok*. ^_^

What's wrong with clicking on a button?


Essentially, lot's of scrolling to the toolbar and then moving the mouse to 
the right button, rather than a ridiculously simple and fast click 
anywhere. But that's just my 5 cents and I can totally understand if you 
and others others prefer to be spared from it, so I'm not asking for 
changing the default behavior, just emphasizing a desire for what Jeremy 
suggested might be an optional feature at some point.

Best wishes, Tobias.

The whole TW UI is built with the TW widgets. Especially the listWidget has 
some super powers with special filters for almost everything.
It completely replaces fETplugin. ... 

The EditTemlate is pure wikitext. Highly advanced wikitext but mastering it 
will need some deep diving :)

But if you want to add / remove some elements form PageTemplate / 
ViewTemplate / EditTemplate you probably just need a special system tag. 
So just ask before you try to change the templates. May be there is an 
easier solution.

 2. Double click doesn't open a tiddler for editing. Will this behaviour 
 be implemented in TW5?


 I hope not. I like it to be able to select word-wise by double clicking 
 the first word I want to select.

 Well, I'm asking about the plans; anyway it's no problem to implement that 
as an optional feature governed by a param.

  

 3. I haven't found a way to add DOM classes inline (like 
 {{myClass{text}}} in TWc), only inline styles and block styles/classes 
 [1]. Will there be some syntax to do this?


 What does this do? You can add span class=myclasstext/span. You can 
 even create Templates or macros for that.
  

I use this heavily with CSS in TWc, the options you propose are too long to 
write each time (I use them for different semantic highlightning). I've 
heard about some kind of definitions which allow to define new syntaxes 
like old-school +++[label]stuff=== for sliders etc, but I don't remember 
the name of the mechanism.. Can anyone help with that?
 

 4. In TiddlyWiki.com, permalink/permaview are now shown in the toolbars. 
 Of'course, I can unhide them each time, but it would be more convenient if 
 they are shown (mostly permalink on tiddlers).


 Why would it be more convenient? I don't want to see them. It's sufficient 
 for me to be able to grab them from the sidebar's open-tab. I see no use in 
 actually seeing them.


They are needed for referencing and sharing links. The trick you propose is 
ok, although it requires more clicks (while with proper keyboard shortcuts 
permalink method requires only one). After all, one more icon wouldn't 
hurt, I guess.

  

 5. In default theme, the EditTemplate (or how it is called in TW5) 
 doesn't look simple at all (while Jeremy wrote that simplicity is of 
 importance for attracting new users a while ago). Also, the edit area 
 itself occupies very part of the tiddler area. I'd propose some adjustments:

 (added fields are displayed in separate lines anyway)
 -- probably reduce margine of the edit area at least by third


 I disagree. But you're free to tweak the templates to your likings.


Well, if you don't provide arguments, it sounds like you disagree for the 
sake of disagreement (considering the rest of you response). Back to TWc, 
Jeremy refused to add some command to EditTemplate (references or jump, if 
I'm not mistaken) for the sake of simplicity; for now, the EditTemplate is 
not simple at all and it's much more complicated (or piled, it's better to 
say) than that of TWc...

  

 6. Are there sections, slices or stuff like that in TW5? Some means of 
 usage TW in a database-like style (like using ForEachTiddlerPlugin or 
 GridPlugin [2]) -- with the content shown inside the tiddler text? May be 
 even some tools to aggregate such tables within the core?


 slices - no, except kind of in data dictionary tiddlers
 sections, stuff - not that I know ;)
 database-like / foreach - have you seen the list widget?


I haven't explored it fully (may be there's more power behind templates 
than I know for now); when there's no distinguishing of sub-data, I won't 
expect that it's possible to build some representation for it. An example 
of what I mean:

in TWc, I have different sets of tiddlers, for instance
title:
name of a pupil
tags:
pupils
text:
|form|7a-1|
|remarks about character|...|
|things to remember|...|
...

and I aggregate values of slices for different pupils into different 
(interactive) tables. On the other hand, sometimes I open tiddlers of 
certain pupils to see and analyse different stuff, so I need these to be in 
the tiddler text (not in the rather hidden fields).


 7. when I add a tag or a field and then press esc (cancel), no prompt 
 like are you sure that you'd like to abandon the changes is displayed.


 And that's good! 

 My opinion is different because this increases a possibility of unexpected 
data loss; the behaviour can be made switchable via settings as well.

Yakov.

 +++[label]stuff=== for sliders etc, but I don't remember the name of the 
 mechanism.. Can anyone help with that?


rules?
 

 They are needed for referencing and sharing links. The trick you propose 
 is ok, although it requires more clicks (while with proper keyboard 
 shortcuts permalink method requires only one). After all, one more icon 
 wouldn't hurt, I guess.


One more icon for your permalinks, one more icon for pining tiddlers, one 
more icon for... whatever... You see: Every icon is just one more and I 
think there shouldn't be more than three, at most five.

I like the current simplicity and after all: All this can be tweaked so 
that you have it.
 

  
 I disagree. But you're free to tweak the templates to your likings.


 Well, if you don't provide arguments, it sounds like you disagree for the 
 sake of disagreement


I disagree because I like the current simplicity and I like the fact that 
it's not too difficult to tweak almost everything about TW5. I do not think 
that we should change the current vanilla TW5 which is here for, well, 
almost 3 years now.
 

 (considering the rest of you response).


considering your post, I got the impression that you didn't look too much 
into TW5 but simply hoped to have an updated TWc. Sorry when I'm doing you 
wrong.

 

 for now, the EditTemplate is not simple at all and it's much more 
 complicated (or piled, it's better to say) than that of TWc...


That's your view. I can't remember too many complains about it in the last 
2 years. But let's wait what others think.
 


 I haven't explored it fully (may be there's more power behind templates 
 than I know for now); when there's no distinguishing of sub-data, I won't 
 expect that it's possible to build some representation for it. An example 
 of what I mean:
 [...]

 and I aggregate values of slices for different pupils into different 
 (interactive) tables. On the other hand, sometimes I open tiddlers of 
 certain pupils to see and analyse different stuff, so I need these to be in 
 the tiddler text (not in the rather hidden fields).


Maybe Datatiddlers http://tiddlywiki.com/#DataTiddlers are sufficient? The 
representation is not as nice as a table, but I think they should give you 
all the rest.

But you can as well stick to fields if you create an edit template for you 
pupils. See for example my (a bit outdated) simple Person DB on 
http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/
 



 7. when I add a tag or a field and then press esc (cancel), no prompt 
 like are you sure that you'd like to abandon the changes is displayed.


 And that's good! 

 My opinion is different because this increases a possibility of 
 unexpected data loss; the behaviour can be made switchable via settings as 
 well.


How much would you loose? 1 word? I think it would be better to add the 
Return-key here for entering a tag. After all: Esc is usually for leaving 
something without changing values.
