This is precisely the problem that Leo's autocompleter was designed to
solve, and *does* solve.
- Enable autocompletion: Alt-1
- Type c.!
You will see the 538 possibilities, or however many they are. Perhaps
this is a little daunting at first, but after a little while you will
begin to use the following::
c.in<tab> or
p.in<tab>
when you want to insert a node, or::
c.del<tab> or
p.del<tab>
when you want to delete a node, or::
c.move<tab> or
p.move<tab>
when you want to move a node.
In all the above examples, the list of possibilities is short. I
*always* enable calltips, so Leo will remind you of the valid
arguments after you type '('.
The learning curve is easy, provided you actually *do* use the
autocompleter that several of us have worked so long to get right.
Another thread discusses how to learn Leo's API, so I won't discuss
here the differences between commander methods c.insertHeadline() vs.
position methods: p.insertAfter().
