Hi Souk! 

Sorry for bothering again but I want to share a sample scenario where It'll 
help if the input box writes to (for example) 
*$:/temp/command-palette-input* instead of a variable available only within 
CP (like how sidebar search manipulates *$:/temp/search*).

When it's a tiddler that's being manipulated, we can do a *<$list>* 
conditional on whether the tiddler is empty or not. 

In my case I can use it to trigger a style on the input box that'll hide 
the hint when the input is long (right now the hint isn't acting like a 
placeholder that disappears, although this can be solved via CSS with a 
*:*focus 
selector)

Another is, we can make a PageTemplate that'll only appear on another 
*<$list>* conditional. Sample: Typing a certain key within the custom 
action, I can emulate a CP-style submenu that'll allow me to configure some 
things in context of my original actionString... Of course, this is only 
for while there's no built-in feature like that yet hehe!

But you've shared something already great, writing to a temp tiddler is 
something I can live without! There are just some thoughts! 

Thanks again ^^,

-jd
