I think there are many use cases for this. I use it for templating-like tasks. But at the moment it's really clunky to achieve, as I have to use Paste-node then reinstate the clones. I often miss some and then chaos ensues. Thanks for this excellent clarification. This should be doable with a a new command, say, paste-retaining-only-clones. I have just created #1593 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1593> for this. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
