THE ISSUE:

The process of incremental search (Alt-S) alters the outline
in terms of expanded/contracted nodes.
This becomes highly inconvenient for relatively big outlines,
because after every search I have to do a lot of mouse clicks
in order to expand again the nodes I'm working with.
Same for performing the 'find-all' command, then using F3
to navigate over the matches.

THE QUESTION:

Is it possible to return to the previous tree status
after finishing the search?

MY COMMENTS:

I'd be happy to manually save/restore the tree state in terms
of expanded/contracted nodes and also the selected node,
if leo could provide a pair of commands for doing this.
I can also see that the tree status is partially persistent over
leo restarts (everything from the root node to the selected node
is expanded, so the selected node is visible, but expanded nodes
in other branches are not expanded after a leo restart).
Having a full persistence of the tree status is less critical for me,
but it would be a nice addition that will improve the user experience
a lot: closing an outline will mean just "putting it into standby
mode"
till the next time.
Having the currently selected node persistent over restarts is good
but not enough.
I treat the process of working with a leo outline not as a selected
node,
but rather as a combination of expanded nodes in the outline,
one of them being selected.
