caveat: I am a very basic/beginning user of TWC.
I don't like coming into a conversation in the middle, but.....here goes:
"...can anyone tell me how to invoke an external editor for a tiddler?"
I do all my editing in gvim using FireFox, and I use an Extension called
"It's All Text!". This enables you to set up an external editor to launch
for ANY text field in a web page. You point it to your favorite editor,
and in any text field it will put a small button that reads "Edit". You
click that button to launch your editor. Sometimes I have to click it
twice. Also, you can set up a hot key to launch. It seems to work in both
Linux (my environment), and Windows w/ gvim installed.
I have not yet found an alternative for Chrome which is the only other
browser I use.
