Before going there, I should ask: *Can we use Leo's existing outline pane instead of the bookmarks pane?* Well, clearly we could. However, the present plugin doesn't seem oriented for this mode of operation. I would have expected the bookmarks-bookmark command to add an @bookmark node as a child of the @bookmarks (plural) node if the @bookmarks node exists. This could be done easily. Alas, there is no way to "half-select" the target of bookmark while keeping the selected @bookmark node selected :-) So navigating the @bookmarks tree won't be as useful as in the platinum design. As a workaround, the bookmarks plugin could define the *bookmarks-toggle-context* command that would switch between the last selected node *in *the @bookmarks tree and the last selected node *outside *the @bookmarks tree. This is an example of using context to our advantage. It might work pretty well and could be done easily. This "gold" design could deliver most of the advantages of the platinum design, at a fraction of the effort and without requiring the bookmarks pane or any other additional real estate. Imo, it's good enough to be worth doing immediately. However, it's time to get b2 out the door, so I'll wait a day or three before starting this project. Unless Terry beats me to it :-) Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
