Thanks TL. For now, I am using the update a context menu according to
another thread in this list:

http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor/browse_thread/thread/9cd11a6da8a1bbe8

That works for me. Are there any advantages in using the
mySettings.leo file approach? Like keyboard shortcuts or something
else? (Or learning how plugins work, I guess...)

Best,

Guilherme
