Alt-S is bound by default (in leoSettings.leo) to isearch-forward, a useful command. The new Search menu destroys that binding.
There are at least three workarounds: - Change @menu &Search to @menu Search. (Tested only on Windows) - Move the Search menu back inside the Edit menu. - Rename &Search to &Find. But these workarounds suck. Imo, the default settings must give Leo a top-level Search menu. It's essential for newbies. Remember them? Instead of limp workarounds, let's see if we can put H. H. Dow's attitude to work. This conflict is just what we wanted ;-) After all these years of preaching about not using the mouse, I still use the mouse when I get impatient. Indeed, it seems unbearably slow to select text without the mouse. I actually never use Alt-S because it never does quite what I want. But it's close! What I want is a *really easy* way of making plain keys move the cursor and/or select text. Naturally, Vim bindings come to mind. There are several possibilities: 1. Just use vim-mode when it becomes available. Some may think it's the best way. But perhaps we don't have to go whole hog. 2. Create a vim-like minibuffer handler that makes it easy to move the cursor, extending text, or not, in an *easily* switchable way. 3. Something else :-) Enough for now. There are way too many other, more important, things on my plate. But I wanted to prime my own mental pump, and perhaps yours as well. Your comments, please. Edward P.S. This post is part of my GTD workflow. No need to remember these ideas. I just filed them in my To-Do list.
