Mainly @Eric Shulman,
GotoPlugin has become a valuable resource when it comes to using it in
other plugins [1]. I would want to extend its use even further. For
that however I am facing a few (minor) restrictions or event handling
problems.
1) Frst and foremost, please extend function processItem to -- instead
of managing the selected listitem with GotoPlugin internals -- notify
a function that has been registered as an attribute to the input
element to receive a selection notification.
The code reads like this...
var n=here.getAttribute('notify');
//notify of selection
if(n)eval(n+'("'+title+'",here)');
// otherwise show tiddler (default behaviour)
else story.displayTiddler(null,title);
Thus the function is being given the selection and a reference to the
input element. The latter is required in order to figure out from
which page element the call came, as in my new plugin there can be
more than one.
2) In my new plugin, I am using the GotoPlugin input to enter a new
item title (or select one if present). Hitting enter in the input will
trigger an action in my plugin. However, so it does for
GotoPlugin ...which is to display the select-list. In my case, this is
not wanted as the input loses focus and I have to click or hit ESC to
get back to it. I would therefore be glad if you would allow for
another parameter to not show the results when ENTER is being hit in
an empty input... which is not really required either, as one can use
the down key.
3 Embedding the GotoPlugin input field would be simpler if there was a
unique name to the input element that can be used to address it. As I
intend to use two goto inputs in one form... I currently need to wrap
the input in another form element so that I can address it like
this...
form.gotoForm1.gotoTiddler
form.gotoForm2.gotoTiddler
So an alternative would be for GotoPlugin by default do the same by
using a form wrapper with display:inline.
4) Not dev related... It would be nice if -- when the first listitem
is selected and one hits the up arrow the focus would move back to the
input box again while either leaving the select list open or closing
it... I don't mind much.
Cheers, Tobias.
