Hi Tony, Don't know if you ever solved this but better late than never if not. I hope you don't mind but I used it as an example on my new site (I plan to write a series of tutorials covering stuff like this) https://www.didaxy.com/selectively-hiding-the-edit-button-on-tiddlers and the explanation's there along with a "tl;dr"
Basically... find $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title and swap this chunk <$list filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[~$:/tags/ViewToolbar]!has[draft.of]]" variable="listItem"><$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<config-title>> text="hide"><$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/></$reveal></$list> for this chunk <$list filter="[all[current]tag[noedit]]"> <$list > filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/ViewToolbar]!has[draft.of]] > -[[$:/core/ui/Buttons/edit]]" variable="listItem"><$reveal type="nomatch" > state=<<config-title>> text="hide"><$transclude > tiddler=<<listItem>>/></$reveal></$list> </$list> <$list > filter="[all[current]!tag[noedit]]"> <$list > filter="[all[shadows+tiddlers]tag[$:/tags/ViewToolbar]!has[draft.of]]" > variable="listItem"><$reveal type="nomatch" state=<<config-title>> > text="hide"><$transclude tiddler=<<listItem>>/></$reveal></$list> </$list> > And then tag tiddlers "noedit" to hide their edit control. Obviously, make sure you back up your work first. The longer instructions explain how I would go about doing this from scratch. Please let me know if you find a mistake.

Or should I clone the edit tiddler button and use that in the tiddlers and Sub Tiddlers?

I have also ensured a checkbox toggle of the noedit tag is available in "locked" tiddlers, as I am only trying to obscure not disable edit. This is however a great start and I will go from here unless you know another approach?

Selective is the key. Thanks for validating the approach, but I do not know how to start. 1) create a tiddler, e.g [[noedit_stylesheet]], tagged with $:/tags/Stylesheet, containing: .tc-tagged-noedit .tc-image-edit-button { display:none; } 2) edit any desired tiddler, add the tag "noedit", press "done" (the checkmark button) Note: after you add the tag and press done, you won't be able to edit that tiddler anymore, so you won't be able to remove the tag you just added. To edit "locked" tiddlers, you will need to disable the stylesheet definition (by removing the $:/tags/Stylesheet tag from the stylesheet definition tiddler). Here's a quick checkbox that will toggle the stylesheet tag for you: <$checkbox tiddler="noedit_stylesheet" tag="$:/tags/Stylesheet"> toggle "noedit" </$checkbox> enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools.com - "Small Tools for Big Ideas!"
