How to snip into cursor location? #75

Open Marxsal opened 2 years ago

Marxsal commented 2 years ago

This relates to the earlier question regarding snipping into a draft tiddler. It would be great if there were a "cursor" (?) mode where you could paste into the current position inside a tiddler. This way you could paste into the middle of text that you have already accumulated rather than just at the bottom of the tiddler. I guess if there were a cursor mode, you wouldn't even have to specify which tiddler -- just wherever the cursor was.

Thanks!

That would not be easy, I think that best that could be done would be to have an tiddlyclip edit toolbar button that would enable the tiddler being edited to 'dock' to tiddlyclip, but you would not be able modify fields, only clip into the editor.

Is this possible with the new tiddler dock buttons?

Tiddlyclip is designed to clip to tiddlers, not to the cursor. It works by sending clips to the store, it does not interact with the river. When you 'dock' to a tiddler, in effect, the name of the tiddler is sent to the tiddlyclip addon. Clips will update that tiddler (in the store) and the refresh mechanism then updates the river, and you see the changes.

I was asking whether if a tiddler is docked in edit mode, will be the subsequent clips be added to that particular tiddler (while still maintaining the edit mode) where ever we keep the cursor. Or the subsequent clips will always appear at the bottom of the tiddler in edit mode ?

at the bottom

actually I think this can be achieved with the new additions to tiddlyclip I am making. I should be able to use the editors 'short cut' function. This would only work in edit mode.

The new version of tiddlyclip to be released seems interesting with some new feature addition like this

arunnbabu81 commented 1 year ago

@buggyj is this function added to tiddlyclip- I mean if the clipped tiddler is in edit mode, the subsequent clips are added at the cursor postion. If I change the cursor position, the position of the subsequent clip also will change. Is this updated plug in available?

I don't know when I will look at this. I am working on some other features at the moment.

It would be nice if this feature get added at a later update

@buggyj Is this possible with the newest version of tiddlyclip?

This has not been implemented in the newest version.
