When you don't specify a file, Leo should open the last file or files you
were editing previously. The first time you open Leo, Leo will open the
workbook file.

Leo will insert a new node as the first child of the presently selected
node (c.p) if and only if c.p has children *and* c.p is already showing its
children. In practice, this behavior is natural.
I still don't understand what Promote and Demote does,
By default, F11 is bound to help-for-command. F11 promote shows:
"Make all children of the selected nodes siblings of the selected node."
So the promote command does nothing unless c.p has children (hidden or not).
F11 demote shows:
Make all following siblings children of the selected node.
So demote does nothing unless c.p has siblings that follow c.p.

Ctrl+{ means Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+} means Ctrl+Shift+]

There are many ways to do this, all of them straightforward. I usually move
nodes with Shift-Arrow keys. This works provided the outline pane has focus.
Fourth, help is abysmal. None of the above things I could find in help.

I agree, help could be improved. I'm glad you asked for help here.
