One of the more useful little things I did was to create two buttons that 
appear above every outline:

1. Show Current Directory
2. Cmd Window Here

They both open in the currently effective directory, which is usually the 
directory of the outline itself.  That can be changed using @path 
directives. So, for example, if you changed an HTML file and wanted to load 
it into the browser, you could open e.g., Windows Explorer on its directory 
and then double click it.

Another thing that is easy to do is to add a menu item that opens the 
selected file in your favorite editor (or it could be any program, such as 
a browser).

Another very useful thing I have done is to show line numbers for files.  
It takes a bit of tinkering to get them aligned right, but I think it's 
worth it.

Adding buttons, etc., like these examples is done by adding simple @settings 
nodes to the MyLeoSettings file.  If you would like to set these up, let us 
know and I can post the ones that I use a lot.
