Hi all, If, like me, you use a lot of formatting and repetitive text in editing TWs, you might appreciate some keyboard shortcuts that work in ordinary plain-text TW markup.
Using a library from OpenJS [1] as its basis, I put together ShortcutPlugin [2] (the functions) and ShortcutKeysPlugin (the key definitions) [3] that together allow about any key to be defined to either: (a) insert pairs of TW formatters at the cursor or around selected text or (b) insert a single text item (such as a line break, bullet or special character). http://twkeys.tiddlyspace.com While it's true (as has been discussed here before) that this allows hijacking key combinations used by the browser (if you define Ctrl+B for bold text, it no longer opens your bookmarks), this plugin makes the defined keys ONLY active in a textarea (e.g., only in the text field of a tiddler open for editing), so normal browser functions return when you're done editing. Caveats: (a) Works in Firefox, does NOT currently work in IE, where the browser seems to grab the keys ahead of the script (friends don't let friends use IE anyway!). Not tested in Chrome or Safari. (b) Setup is not super user-friendly: to define keys, you have to edit the code of the ShortcutKeysPlugin.
