Maybe I'm missing something here, probably because I've always dismissed scripting because I don't have the foggiest notion of how to write one. I can see the advantages of a 'search' compared to a breakable link, but will this require that users will have to learn Python programming in order to fully leverage this?

I've written scripts in other contexts and languages before, but for some reason the Leo scripting hasn't been intuitively obvious to me (lots of one letter shortcuts that only mean something if you're familiar with the inner workings of Leo's code). Is there a good resource to learn how to get started deciphering that? Rob............... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
