Hi Stobot! Have you found a solution?
*This works for me...*
\define newtiddlername() $(mytitle)$ $(now)$
\define addnewtiddler() *<$vars
mytitle={{$:/temp/mytitle}}>*<$action-createtiddler
$basetitle=<<newtiddlername>>/>*</$vars>*
<$keyboard key="enter" actions=<<addnewtiddler>>>
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/mytitle" tag="input" default=""/>
<$button actions=<<addnewtiddler>>>
Add
</$button>
</$keyboard>
That is, moving <$vars> widget to nearest possible place where it will be
used...
*With these previous code....*
<$keyboard key="enter" actions=<<addnewtiddler>>>
<$edit-text tiddler="$:/temp/mytitle" tag="input" default=""/>
<$vars mytitle={{$:/temp/mytitle}}>
<$button actions=<<addnewtiddler>>>
Add
</$button>
</$vars>
</$keyboard>
The button will use the <<mytitle>> that is already declared... While the
keyboard is trying to use the same variable -- however, it's not declared
yet "above" it!
*But*! moving <$vars> "above" <$keyboard> means that with every key press,
<$vars> has to recompute (don't know the exact terms / mechanism here),
refreshing its contents, taking away the focus from all inside it,
including <$text-edit>...
So, moving <$vars> inside <<addnewtiddler>> means that as long as
<<addnewtiddler>> isn't being ran, <<mytitle>> won't recompute, won't
refresh that part of the DOM
Hopefully someone can explain all these better for me lol ! I am so bad at
this
