Nice!

The smacking sound you probably heard was my palm hitting my forhead.  It 
simply had not occured to me to use ...PageControls to add key buttons in 
this manner.

Thank to both of you for an informative Question and Answer.

Cheers,
Hans

1) First, create a tiddler (e.g., "New Project"), containing the desired 
"skeleton content" and tags.
2) Next, create a tiddler (e.g., "NewProjectButton"), containing a $button 
definition like this:
<$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="New Project" tooltip="Create a new 
Project tiddler" class="tc-btn-invisible">
   {{$:/core/images/spiral}}

3) Tag "NewProjectButton" with *$:/tags/PageControls*

Notes:
* You can name the tiddlers anything you like
* Use class="tc-btn-invisible" so the $button just displays the icon 
without any border or background color
* Replace $:/core/images/spiral with any tiddler containing a small 
button-sized image

It is good to be welcomed, even as a newcomer. Many communities are not 
so generous :-).


One follow-up question, though: when you say, "add the following $button 
wherever you like", do you mean within an existing tiddler? Or is there 
a way to assign it an icon and have it be an action that I can configure 
into my main menu-bar?

I want to be able to click a button and create a new "Project"
tiddler, in which a few basic tags are set but which also has the
skeleton content of:

!!Materials

!!!Kits/Aftermarket

!!!Accessories

!!References

!!Web References

!!Notes


1) First, create a tiddler (e.g., "ProjectStarter"), containing the 
desired "skeleton content" and tags.

2) Next add the following $button wherever you like:
<$button message="tm-new-tiddler" param="ProjectStarter">New 
Project


That's it.  When you press the "New Project" button, it will open a 
new tiddler for editing with the indicated default starting content.


enjoy,
