Saq, Sorry, I did not mean to hijack your thread. My key point is that modals, popups and Windows and 'active' SideBar Tabs, ultimately serve the same purpose (reposition content), while introducing different advantages and disadvantages and use cases. I would hope such solutions can be documen

The idea behind floats is to provide an alternative way to show content outside the flow of the story river in the *same* browser window. For my use case this complements existing methods such as modals and opening in new window, both of which I already use for Notation. As such I think discuss

FYI: By the way the float is helpful on laptop/desctop but this solutions seems better for small devices, with a little customisations. I thought I would try my buttons on a tablet, Chrome downloaded the json to documents, Import from Tiddlywiki allowed me to import it from documents. "Wa La",

Saq, I agree a generic solution is needed, I can imagine floats could be immediately used on the Murri plugin for multi screen tiddlywiki "desktops". Before I comment on this design please drop the attached Draft design for new window buttons that do something similar, but uses new browser wind
