I was planning a separate post about adding support for Leo to editors such as emacs and vim, but I might as well comment here and now. We devs recently "agreed" that adding Leo support for emacs might be a drain on Leo's core devs, but there is more to the discussion. In fact, having Leo plugins for emacs and vim are the two projects I would *most* like to see. Imo, such plugins should be done by a "native speaker" of vim or emacs. Only a native speaker will know the most natural way of getting the job done. Just this morning I was trying to recall how Leo in a browser worked. Flexx hides a lot of details. For emacs and vim, using Félix's server (leobridgeserver.py) would be more natural. But we have to know the details of how the server works, what the communication protocols are, etc. Edward P.S. Someone commented that the emacs community might not be interested in the Leo way, as contrasted with org mode. I'm sure that would be true of many emacs users, perhaps even most emacs users. But it won't be true of *all* emacs users if there is an emacs champion willing to follow in Félix's footsteps. A Leonine alternative to org mode would naturally create both competition *and* cooperation between the two "camps". Not competition *or* cooperation, but both simultaneously and ongoingly. Imo, a leo mode would do very well in the competition. If I didn't think so, I wouldn't be interested in the project :-) P.P.S I have spent several happy hours playing with leointeg. I'll report my experiences in a separate thread. EKR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
