There is another thread on focusing on marketing instead of feature development. I agree on this (esp. for features like vim-bindings, which would likely be misplacement of limited development time, as vim users will always be using vim and the result would be bad anyway).
There are some ideas to increase "instant appeal", which plays directly to marketing (first step is to get people try leo, the second step is to make them spend more than 15 minutes in it). 1. Make a dark theme the default, and ensure it looks good on Windows, OSX and Linux. Make font sizes etc like those in atom, sublime text, Visual Studio Code and Firefox Developer edition (just examples to reflect what I consider "modern" look and feel).

Current system requires too much Leo buy-in already 3. See if we could make tabs for node editors (richt click on node -> open as tab). This is in line with how people use e.g. browsers these days. Like "stickynote" but for tabs, that is 4. see if we could replace minibuffer with ctrl+shift+p like thing from sublime/atom/vscode. Much more "impressive" and modern. 5. likewise, ctrl+p for "quick finding" nodes based on fuzzy matching on headlines (like subliwe fuzzy matches file names on ctrl+p) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
