I want to make pressing the space-bar on the keyboard insert the " " character and additionally trigger an action string therefor a text-operation that doesn't select the replacement would be needed and I haven't found one that behaves like needed. I think the editor stamp tool also uses "replace-selection" which leaves a selected " " if inserting a space character. Then, when typing, the space gets replaced by the first typed character... that's not what we want here the "[[foo bar" example wouldn't work when using space as the trigger, but the trigger can be any key-combination that works as a keyboard shortcut. the problem is when and how the text stored in the separate tiddler should be reset ... my idea was to reset every time the space character is pressed so that it never contains the whole text which would be contraproductive > > Might the editor Stamp tool solve this in any way? > > > >> Would be great to reveal the popup at the position where the cursor is, >> but that's a different task >> > > Ah, yes.
