The web browser I'm using with TW, qutebrowser 
<https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser> has a mechanism for opening an 
external editor when filling in forms fields. When creating a new tiddler 
this mechanism works with every editable field *except* for the content 
field, which is obviously the field for which an external editor would be 
most useful:

In order to troubleshoot this at the browser end I need to understand what 
is different about the content field in comparison with the other fields.


If it helps, the mode of failure is that the external editor (gvim) 
launches, I enter the content in the editor, and close the editor -- at 
this point for all other fields the editor content appears in the browser 
form field, but in the case of the content field it remains empty.

I tried to view the page source but, of course, that showed me the entire 
wiki. I don't have sufficient knowledge of TW to wade through that.


[I've reported this as a TW github issue 
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3676>, but it since 
occurred to me it might be better discussed here.]
