TiddlyWiki

darkness @ 23:42:14

I really love the idea of TiddlyWiki even if I can’t necessarily seem to put it to use. The things people are doing with JavaScript today really amaze me.

I need to outline a paper, so I grabbed TiddlyWiki. There’s something called YATWA (yet another TiddlyWiki adaptation) that has some other neat features. Chief among them, for me, was “close others”–like “Close Other Tabs” in Firefox. I merged it into the main TiddlyWiki very easily: I think you just need to add the button for it (search for onClickToolbarClose), then copy the handler onClickToolbarCloseOthers (or maybe it wasn’t plural) from YATWA to TiddlyWiki, then copy the closeAllBut function from YATWA to TiddlyWiki. Seems to work well enough; I almost wish it would close tiddlers being edited, though.

Also, somehow I horked Firefox so I couldn’t save TiddlyWiki. (TiddlyWiki, helpfully, kept telling me to “try Firefox.”) The answer was to beat on prefs.js and remove lines that looked like:

pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalXPConnect");
pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "file:///");

Then Firefox once against started asking me if I wanted to give files running at file:/// some “enhanced privileges” or something like that.

Emacs key bindings in Firefox

I used the gconf-editor solution. FC4 which is, I believe, Gnome 2.10; Firefox 1.0.4.
