I understand the difference, but there is no way Leo is going to support a beginner's mode *directly*, that is, with switches within Leo. However, Leo's configuration machinery is easily up to the task of creating any desired user experience. One way would be to put a complete set (disabled) settings in LeoSettings.leo for beginners. Like this: @settings (normal, enabled settings) @@settings (disabled, beginners settings) Yes, we could enable the beginners settings by default in leoSettings.leo, but this creates difficulties for all existing users. I'm not going to do that. Perhaps we could have a --simplified command-line option, that would search for @simplified-settings instead of @settings everywhere. That would work, and would hardly change Leo's core code at all. Otoh, it's just one more thing to document. Distributing a simplified set of settings in leoSettings.leo seems like the simplest thing that could possibly work. Your comments please.
