As shown at: https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/t/seeking-guidance-on-adding-a-formatting-toolbar-to-a-note-taking-text-area/9524?u=pmario

The first thing new users want to create is a "ViewTemplate" that actually should be an EditTemplate with less "chrome".

So I think, we should add a "default" EditTemplate without "type-field", without fields. Only tags and and the text area should be there.

If the tiddler is created with eg: actionCreateWidget, there should also be no title input, since it has been defined already.

If the tiddler is created with the "New Tiddler" button it shuld be "simple" at the beginning, but there should be an "switch to advanced mode" somewhere.

Default buttons should be: bold, italic, unordered list, ordered list, quote, h1 - h3, link and may be monospaced (CTRL-E instead of CTRL-M) and code block

The "simple edit" template should be default - also at tw-com

The rest shoud be in the "more dropdown" - which also contains the "switch to advanced" mode button, which is as it is now.

@Jermolene -- what do you think?

Hi @pmario it is definitely worth considering ways of simplifying the default edit template, but I don't think hiding things is sufficient to address the issues. I think we need to explore clearer layouts that establish a clearer visual hierarchy.

Notion and Tana also have fields, but they look beautiful. Maybe rise a design competition for this?
