Interesting. There is a relationship here with mouseless programming. It would seem that all visual elements, especially those that may exist in multiple versions, must have a name or other description suitable for generalized commands. At present, the most serious hole in Leo's commands is that there is no way to close or select a tab in the qttabs gui that represents an entire file: afaik, you have to use the mouse to change files. By extension, the user might want multiple rendering panes, especially if one or more are locked. Without a description, there is no way to specify exactly what show/hide-rendering pane does. I haven't forgotten the autocompleter docs. I'll get to them next. It looks like autocompletion would be the way to generalize the not- very-effect commands that switch focus from one ui element to another. A related benefit is one generalized command might be more convenient to use than the present flavors of (buggy) cycle-focus commands. In short, contemplating generalized windows leads us to generalized select/delete/show/hide commands, based on autocompletion, that work on various ui elements. This looks like the next project.
