Also, last time this was discussed, we never reached consensus on what mouse-down-drag should do. I.e. whether it should move the node, or cause the selection of multiple nodes. I hadn't really noticed :-) but current implementation has adopted select multiple nodes. I think the more common behavior (in situations where nodes are tree movable) is for mouse-down-drag to move them, and shift-click and ctrl-click to handle multiple selection. The node trees on the left side of GoogleEarth and in Firefox bookmark editing seem like a nice example of convenient node moving to me, I'd like to see something like that. I use Leo for both coding *and* PIM and other data management tasks, so I appreciate the utility of easy node moving, and don't think keyboard shortcuts are as fluid in cases where your shuffling a bunch of nodes around trying to get a useful arrangement without really knowing what that arrangement will look like ahead of time. So yep, it's definitely on the list. Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
