Perhaps foolishly, I installed Windows 11 yesterday. Windows 11 has certainly gotten me out of my rut!
1. My long-time picture viewer stopped working. Amazingly, Windows has nothing out-of-the-box that is even close to what I want. So I'm working on a python script. It already does better than the commercial product in some ways. I'll put the script in scripts.leo when it is ready. Again amazingly, Windows has problems with desktop slideshows. Soon I'll have a workaround! 2. The taskbar is now only on the bottom. Yes, it can be moved by altering the registry. This seemingly minor change has revealed how often (way too often) I use the mouse to launch programs. Aha/Doh! I don't need the taskbar. I can do everything inside Leo. For example, for years I have used the excellent open-shell app <https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu> to simulate the look and feel of Windows 7. Aha! I don't need that. Instead of <Windows Key> (to open open-shell) followed by <down-arrow><down-arrow><return> to open mozilla, I could just do <Alt-x>moz<return> !! *New @command nodes (in myLeoSettings.leo)* @command e: g.openWithFileName(r'C:\Users\Edward Ream\ekr.leo') @command moz: g.handleUrl('https://www.leoeditor.com/') @command mail: g.handleUrl('https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox') And similarly for other web sites. A 'bookmark' abbreviation is next :-) *Summary* Sometimes change reveals our ruts and blind spots.
