As I fumbled around in Leo Menus trying to do half remembered things, (its
been a while since I've used it), I thought that we should borrow from the
prompts Inkscape provides to make this easier.
In Inkscape, down in the status bar context sensitive hints are displayed.
For instance, as you go through the menus, you get an explanation of what
the currently highlighted menu item would do. For Leo, say we have Edit >
Edit Body > highlighted:
- "Create a new node named by the first line of selected body text and a
body made of the other selected lines, then deletes that selection."
- (if some lines are selected in an active body pane)
- "Create a new node named the line the cursor is in (leading whitespace
stripped)"
- (for when we have the cursor or a selection in a single line)
- "Needs to have cursor in, or lines selected in an active body pane to
work"
- (for when menu item is inactive)
This would make Leo easier to use
