Ok, e74e4e2 lets the CSV edit pane remember per node settings. It will
work best if you don't move from node to node with the pane open, but
instead open and close the pane on a single node using a button. Here's
code for the button:
from leo.plugins.editpane.csvedit import LEP_CSVEdit
s = c.free_layout.get_top_splitter()
csv = s.findChild(LEP_CSVEdit)
if csv:
csv.parent().parent().parent().close()
else:
c.k.simulateCommand("edit-pane-csv")
Cheers -Terry
