Most likely it simply does the job. that is there is already code handling the desired feature. If you then make use of this you will not confuse someone who has no idea why you are using a browser fragile piece of javacript (that requires a reload on install) when the platform provides it. The solution remain accessible to others in tiddlywiki without javascript knowledge and is in a sense is already documented <https://tiddlywiki.com/#InfoMechanism> Any solution that does not make use of the platforms method already available is fragmenting, reducing supportability and more fragile. Because apart from anything the platform may change the javascript may be forced to change but not do so. This is why I said > Charlie, >> > Looks like javascript is your hammer.
