No-docks as default is the safest route to a better experience for most people in my opinion. It's just too easy to get things messed up when using docks and getting back to reasonable restart place is very hacky.
I suppose it's too complicated to be able to switch dock modes via a menu item or command, right? What about swapping between and resetting layouts? It seems like a small thing, closing Leo and restarting is straightforward, but it really adds a lot of mental friction. Long term, is there any viable or even a possibly-viable path to harmonizing or joining the layout methods? I'm sure the work of keeping both up to date and working indefinitely into the future is an undesirable burden. On defaults: I also vote for 2 column layout with Outline and Log on left with Body on right using full top to bottom extent. Of course people should be able to design and save their own local default. I don't have a recommendation for Find and Nav tabs. I frequently want them, but they're also almost always in the way. I guess that's why other editors use pop-ups. (Notepad++ replace dialog goes transparent when it loses focus, which is rather nice. I imagine that was a fair bit of work.) -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
