Thanks for the clarification.

Hang on a minute. . . OK, I've just written an AutoHotKey script to launch Leo that looks for the string ".leo" in window titles and if found, pops up "are you sure?" with a list of the window titles currently open. Obviously platform-specific, but works-around for me for now, and only took 5 minutes, including looking up code samples at the AHK web-site. . . I reckon the Linux people would take less time than that to put together a sample script to do the same thing. I can see where one wouldn't want to pollute the Python-purity with this sort of platform-specific kludge, (plug-out's?) but if they're made available outside of the main program and are easily adaptable by the end-user. . . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
