Sounds useful. Have you thought of using modals to simplify the interface with the editor? > We would want to insert a result in the modal back to the editing tiddler. > You mean, how do I like to show an annoyingly small frame and block of the rest of the screen including the very text I'm authoring? Sounds terrible ;-) But, who knows, for the applications you have in mind it might make sense. For small things like title completion it would disturb the authoring flow. Instead I'm hoping for something similar to the CKEditor feature "Balloon editor" <https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/examples/builds/balloon-editor.html> - scroll to below the video and, in the editable text, select/click on any word to get the balloon to pop up. This is minimally intrusive. A key aspect of that "balloon editor" is to be able to position the popup where the cursor is. Snowgoon does this in TW with his comptext plugin, but it is in js so I have no idea how. There was just a popup-action widget added to core (thank you BurningTreeC and Jermolene) but while it has coordinates I have not yet asked how to use it and I doubt it would solve the "at cursor" problem. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
