Rev 6445 makes a fairly major change to Leo's operation.  

I made this changes because I couldn't stomach explaining how Leo worked in 
a "Basic Leo Operations" video!  Mumbling is not a good start for a basic 
video ;-)

By default (this hasn't changed) the Return (Enter) key is bound to 
end-edit-headline when focus is in the tree.  Previously, this command 
*always* ended editing *and* switched focus to the body pane. Now this 
command *just* ends editing if the headline is, in fact, being edited.  
Otherwise, this command switches focus to the body pane.

Yes, *two* Enter keys are now need to end editing and switch to the body 
pane, but I think that's the way things *must* work, as far as newbies are 
concerned.  The old way just makes no sense intuitively.

As a result of this change, the @bool stayInTreeAfterEditHeadline no longer 
does anything.  I will consider reinstating this setting if people really 
hate the new way.

But I think the new way is just better, enough so that supporting the old 
way is dubious.  Besides actually being logical, there is a big advantage 
to staying in the tree after ending the editing of a headline: we can use 
*plain* arrow keys to navigate tree pane. If we want to go to the body 
pane, the second Enter key will take us there.

Imo, we will all quickly find that the new way is better: it's a lot easier 
to hit Enter twice than it is to hit Enter followed by an Alt-Arrow key.

Please try the new way and tell me what you think.  

Edward
