This is a valid request. A couple of years ago I had to deal with a
big outline where massive node management (copying/moving/cloning)
operations were required. I ultimately did everything manually, but it
required a huge amount of scrolling back and forth through the outline
pane. I didn't post to group then for many reasons:

- I am trying to make a suggestion / request a feature only after I
bump into a problem at least twice. Sometimes I would try to do
something with leo, fail to achieve my goal and abandon it. However,
after a while I'm eventually back trying again. This may take a couple
of months though, but meanwhile I learn a thing or two more about leo
which sometimes helps progressing.

- I am the guy who contributes not that much to this group and
unfortunately almost doesn't contribute to developing leo at all. So I
don't think it's fair to ask lots and give back much less. But I try
pulling the trunk on a daily basis and read the group. I can see the
titanic work Edward does every day and I avoid bothering him too often
with my minor issues :-) But leo is evolving, it becomes better, it
moves into the right direction constantly and this is enough to keep
me happy.

However, this is a good place to estimate if there are many people in
the leo community who may need a particular feature implemented. Two
outline panes would certainly come handy in specific situations when
big amounts of copy/move/clone node operations are needed. Two pane
file managers are still a whole era in user interfaces, there's no
conceptual difference between a filesystem and a leo outline after
all. Think of norton commander/dos navigator/total commander/midnight
commander (I happen to still use last one on a daily basis and I am
very happy with it).
