Hm, that would need an enhancement in my dragndrop thing I think it's possible and could be assigned to a key using the $:/config/DragDefaults tiddler I also think it would be a faster way to accomplish on a lower level what we're trying here The dragndrop approach of dragging into areas besides the text editor would still be valuable and I wouldn't want to drop it when the dragging-blocks-into-textareas is possible > > Another issue is that in view mode it is currently not possible to > *inject* rather than *append* the block.

I was thinking about having the table check the existing code with some regexp list filtering for existing widgets and macros and what else, then represent them visually in a table where you can drag new blocks into and rearrange them. The content of the table is stored in a qualified tiddler <$set name="storageTiddler" value=<<qualify "$:/whatever/whatever">> Finished arranging and dragndropping, with the click of a button the current tiddler gets the new code All this could be done without opening it in edit mode The table could be toggled somehow like the info panel > > ... > > In that other thread Surya expressed a wish for using this to make tables. > I agree.
