@tobibeer said something off the cuff in a github thread <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1180#comments> on another topic. I'm picking up on this but feel it is more a google group thing. Not so much an issue, more of a brainstorm thing about using the tiddler left side margin area (the 'gutter') for stuff:
[...] this is where I would also envision things like permalink and > >permaview, even info... you hover a tiddler and, when enabled, you see > these buttons you can click to >easily access further information and > tools. The left margin is so much quicker to handle for an editor >than a > "more" tiddler toolbar popup. > That would be super! On hover toolbar like the side popout in metabeles tw <http://gwiz.tiddlyspot.com>. Accessible and yet I don't think you'd hover mistakenly over it because there is not much going on at the left of page anyway. (If not "discoverable" enough, as @Jermolene puts it, there could be a faint *more* icon residing there permanently or even have such an icon appear when hovering over the rest of the tiddler and when curser glides over to left it switches to menu as just described.) This would leave only the closing X in the corner - very elegant IMO. The onhover side toolbar would also "allow" for more added tools without cluttering (or, rather, with clutter hidden until on hover). I've found this has happened to me - I want a few tools out there, but it ain't so pretty. Hm, come to think of it, on hover visibility could be used for the current toolbar... Could use additional sides as well of course. And for public TW's, you could put "public tools" in visible top bar and "private tools" in the popups and then just disable these when someone else is using the TW. Generally appealing concept to use "apparent decoration" for features. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
