I agree completely, rather than seeing: @clean /home/tbrown/projects/pyth| @edit /home/tbrown/misc/maps_and_| @nosent /home/tbrown/projects/rec| I'd like to see 𝓒 …/somecode.py 𝓔 …/file.js 𝓝 …/someelse.txt i.e. icons for the directive and path hiding / compression. Maybe even the …/ is too much :-) I think this can be done without changing Leo internals or adding aliases like @c for @clean etc. Basically you'd see the regular text when you edit a node headline, and the succinct version otherwise. In the past I've said I'm tired of hearing myself say I'll try things like this and then not getting to them... I think now I'm getting to the point of saying I'm tired of hearing myself say I'm tired of hearing myself say... :-) But I think if this can be done it has to be by just changing the appearance of the nodes when they're not being edited, and having the user edit the whole regular `@clean /home/tbrown/projects/...` text. Otherwise the changes to Leo internals would be a huge task. So, I'll try and have a quick hack along those lines.
