Many thanks for this excellent summary. > [Emacs users] spend close to 100% of [their] time within the computing environment. In emacs the features that help facilitate this are dired, vc/magit, and term/shell-commands. > I spend an enormous amount of my time in dired because it's just so well integrated into the rest of emacs. It is as if I have the entirety of my file system and network at my finger tips. I can run shell commands on any files/folders or subset of files/folders and any output goes directly into emacs; this helps keep me in emacs an out of the terminal. dired is further enabled by TRAMP which allows you to view the file system of remote computers via SSH. TRAMP also makes it seamless to edit files on those remote computers. > vc/magit/diff-hl and other features make version control seamless and mostly painless. Being able to see which files have changed (in dired) and which lines of my code have changes (via icons in the gutter) at all times really helps keep my mind organized and focused. These features also help keep me out of the terminal. Sound like great features. > And then there is Org, which I'm sure you've gotten plenty of requests for features from. Leo is very much like Org. I use Org more like a Jupyter Notebook than anything else. What I utilize most is Org-babel. Org-babel allows you to run any kind of code from anywhere within an org file and save the results within the Org file. As you say, Leo does this, but a bit differently. > If Leo had a multi-node body pane which reflected the indented structure/view shown in the tree pane then it would function more similarly to Org-mode than it does now. I don't have a clear picture for this. Can you explain further? Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
