There was choice back in time, before 10 years, to provide to user few keys to run some functions, like Org export. That itself is not bad, but when it started expanding into now more than 100+ different exports, Org requires every new package to define what? Keys? So every package author is supposed to provide keys and various snippets of text, because they have to accommodate initial and outdated notion on using simple menu. Org Export is not any more simple menu. And Org users are in quite peculiar mode, with headings, TODO, tags, so in my personal logic it does not make sense NOT to provide to Org users Org based buffers where they can fold or unfold headings, freely use mouse to export, or keys, and watch in one window the buffer with menu like RCD Org Export, and in other windows other exports appearing in various versions, minimizing repetition, and helping user become more efficient. The ideas have been sent as concept to you, then as full package, which I now use daily, so it is to derive the mode, define key bindings, decide how to display toggling of variables for body, scope, async, etc. and generate hyperlinks for export. RCD Dashboard package is made to help other similar things to be created, and I wish to liberate it even from Org mode. I use daily RCD Dashboard, as it is package for packages in now multiple screens appearing automatically, imagine intersections of elementary objects like headings, or files, with their names, appearing in generated Org buffers with hyperlinks. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
