Bookmarklets are small pieces of JavaScript code that you can use on any web page, by clicking on a bookmark. I’ve put together a selection of my most often used tweaks and tools for TiddlyWiki in the shape of bookmarklets, for the community to use. Presenting TiddlyWiki Bookmarklet Central.
For those of you familiar with my bookmarklets from the previous blog, you will notice that there have been some additions. I have added some new bookmarklets myself, and Jeremy Ruston has graciously allowed me to include his bookmarklets as well.
I am hoping this will grow into a central place for everyone to come to, for their TiddlyWiki bookmarklet needs. Suggestions, feedback and ideas for new bookmarklets are all welcome.

Thanks for TiddlyWiki Bookmarklet Central. Such a collecting place for bookmarklet has been missing - till now.
Hope, it will continue to grow.
Just wanted to add - for collectors sake - the side for Xavier Verges bookmarklet for Udo’s YourSearch Plugin http://xdexavier.googlepages.com/yoursearch.html
Regards
I can only agree with wolfang; TW bookmarklets definitely deserve a dedicated place like this.
I also agree about the YourSearch bookmarklet; if Xavier doesn’t mind (which I assume he won’t), you should add that to the list - or at least link to it.
Maybe we’ll even see more bookmarklets using this “dynamic plugin loading” technique…
Wolfgang: Thank you for the kind words. I have approached Xavier for permission to include the YourSearch bookmarklet here. I hope to add it once I hear back from him.
FND: It would be great to see more plugins made available as bookmarklets. The tricky part is of course that some plugins need to run code when TiddlyWiki first starts, which is not possible via bookmarklets. I’ve been wondering about the benefits of a TiddlyWiki where all the code for editing has been removed, and is loaded via a bookmarklet. Any thoughts on that?
On the one hand, dynamically loading the editing functionality from a bookmarklet sounds like a good idea.
However, I feel kinda uneasy about relying on an external source (i.e. a bookmarklet stored in the browser) for such crucial functionality.
Instead, I’d probably prefer an external (though local) JS file, which can be loaded using a button within TiddlyWiki.
