If I install a new editor, I expect it to open up in a usable way. If I think I would like to change something, I usually have a fighting chance by using the help and menus. Leo is different. Where do I go to find out about the command line options? Well, yes, --help, if I'm a person who knows about that convention. Oh, this isn't a command line option. Hmm. Now where do I go for that? How do I change font size or face? Hmm, there are a few menu entries but not in the place I would expect options or settings. Maybe I come to realize that I should copy sections from LeoSetings.leo to MyLeoSettings.leo. But which ones? Well, I'm sure a lot of us know these problems. But you know what? I've still got font settings on my myLeoSettings.leo file that I think are obsolete, but I can't be sure which ones they are so I just leave them in. So now I can't tell anyone else what settings to use because I don't know which ones are effective any more. Well, sorry for the rant, it's *really* off topic. Another thread, I suppose. And after using Leo on and off for a decade, I still didn't know about @string initial-split-orientation = horizontal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
