Hi Tony, Sorry to hear you're having some health problems. Hope everything turns out OK for you.
Dynalist and Scrivener are easy to pick up. Org-mode isn't too hard either as long as you stick with the basics. In all of these, I think, you create a new entry, promote/demote it, or move it in the hierarchy -- without your fingers leaving the keyboard! You can work uninterrupted, concentrating on the text, not fiddling with the tech. One of the weaknesses in TW is how much you have to use the mouse for. You create a new tiddler (by clicking on a button). Then you go back to the keyboard. Then you tab down and the tags appear. How to get rid of them ? Turns out you can tab and then space. But then you have to tab through all the edit fields before you can get to the text field. But you can't see which edit tool you're on (at least I can't), so what's the point? Most of the edit tools are useless unless you're already down in the text box, so wouldn't it be better to tab right into the text field? There also doesn't seem to be anyway to tab into the tag field. So you're stuck using the mouse again. And I haven't even gotten to the part about how you're going to be breaking text into tiddlers, but the tiddlers will have to be managed with some list or contrivance if you want to view or edit them in proper sequence. Otherwise they'll just appear in the "recent" tab in whichever order they were created. Speed. I've mentioned this before. In my heyday I could type 120wpm. More normally I could type 60wpm. Today 40 isn't impossible. But the refresh cycle on TW is constantly tripping up input, making the experience sluggish. The experience varies by platform, browser, and memory usage I think. But I don't expect to have typing problems *ever*. There's also issues with the default edit font. The edit fonts are non-mono, and way too small on small devices. Yes, I know, I can tweak them. These are all reasons why typing and writing on TW isn't optimal. I'm not saying impossible, just not comfortable. -- Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
