Usage
In Wwidd, everything is designed around fast-paced work. Who would want to spend ages tagging, right?
You want to add, change, and consolidate tags fast, with as little distraction as possible. To that end, Wwidd is intentionally lacking most conventional tabs, windows, and dialog boxes that guide you through a particular operation. Instead, to save on typing and mouse clicks, you have one page, where everything is editable in-place, plus the scope.
The scope defines a group of videos your change will be applied to.
There are four kinds:
- single video
- entire library
- search results
- selected videos
Usually, it's not decided which one is in effect, until right before you apply the change, and it all depends on the key(s) you press. It may sound complicated, but it's really simple.
- Enter applies to a single video
- SHIFT + Enter applies to the entire library
- CTRL + Enter applies to search results
- SHIFT + Enter applies to selected videos only; when at least the video in focus is checked
When a certain change can't be applied to the scope, nothing will happen. For instance, when no videos are selected, SHIFT + Enter will do nothing on tag addition, as adding the same tag to every single video in the library would make no sense.
The following table shows what tag changes can be applied to which scope.
| scope | add | change | delete |
|---|---|---|---|
| single video | X | X | X |
| entire library | - | X | X |
| search results | X | X[^1] | X |
| selected videos | X | -[^2] | X |

Controls that are displaying volatile information are all editable in-place. As of now, this covers tags, including the add tag button.
- To enter edit mode, click on the tag. It will turn into an input field, typically an edit box, letting you change its value.
- To apply the change use a shortcut mentioned above.
- To exit edit mode, press Esc or click anywhere outside the tag. It will go back to its default state.
The scope with its shortcuts already saves a great deal on key presses and mouse clicks. To save even more, certain actions are assisted with hints.
While typing in the search box, you'll see the rest of the first matching tag in gray. When you hit Enter the hint will be discarded, and the search will be performed using the term actually typed in.
Assisted tag addition is very similar to search, with two exceptions:
- The category of the tag is included in the hint, in the usual tag:category format.
- When you hit Enter, or any other shortcut that may apply, to finalize the addition, the entire hint is taken into account. While at search the hint is really just a suggestion, here it serves as a lookup.
