Folks, Clearly you have all being responding while I sleep here in Sydney. I really appreciate your feedback and ideas. I see why It is a challenge that I did not think trough too much, just defined the desire.
FYI, I was in my Big Data course last night with my laptop, typing in notes as we worked, using bash, Vi, AWS, PDF files with commands and more. Tiddlywiki is brilliant at providing a tool for this but during a class you don't have time to excise pieces of text to simplify. This is why a long tiddler developed, and I needed to return to it often, usually to the bottom but not always, it is this transition between displayed tiddler and editing a tiddler that is attention/cognitively demanding.especially when you want to edit something earlier in the text. Leaving the tiddler in edit/Preview mode along with the Save and Keep open <https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/tiddlywiki/save$20and$20keep$20open%7Csort:relevance/tiddlywiki/mgIvH5SSRwg/t0HOb334EgAJ> by Thomas Elmiger (that looses the cursor place) but Birthe says *Using the keyboard shortcut for saving, the tiddler stays in edit mode and you can keep writing at exactly the same point. Nice when writing longer text. (eh tiddlers and long text......]* I may combine this with tiddlers bar so I can keep the long tiddler open but out of the way. Two thoughts that may inspire you further after reading all your comments. 1. If we could toggle a view mode, that shows the tiddler un wikified, a click to edit at cursor would be much simpler and accurate, you could even have it only work when in view mode reducing the problems with stray clicks. 2. Perhaps I could be using preview mode a little more, click to edit is not so difficult then, but I could imagine in preview clicking in the right preview could highlight the position in the left (edit panel) I understand that clicking on a transcluded item could only put the cursor near the line that does the transcluding. Of course as Mario points out, the work, given the architecture of tiddlywiki may be difficult, and all your efforts better directed, However we are a creative bunch and expect we can find a way to a solution that supports editing and returning to mid to large tiddlers.
