I move nodes like this all the time. Additionally, I rarely ever use clones, despite being one of Leo's 'headline features'.
Your recent prescriptivism has been a bit frustrating as someone who has been using Leo for over a decade. The joy of Leo is that the user can do things in so many ways. I sincerely think that imposing these 'hidden'* restrictions on user activity is an objectively bad move. To be clear, I love Leo, and I genuinely appreciate all the design and work that has gone into it. I just think perhaps we're moving fast and breaking things just to do so, lately. It's frustrating and difficult to keep up with. And I say this as someone who has developed a handful of plugins in the repo, was involved in the bzr->git migration, and contributed a fair amount of bugfixes over the years. (*I say 'hidden' because how is a user unfamiliar with Leo's internals supposed to grok that cut-paste to move a node, an *extremely common* method of moving data in other applications, will have unintended, internal consequences? This is just *bad* UX, full stop. The user shouldn't have to think about the internal data structure of the thing they're working on.) Just my $0.02. Please take this as constructive -- I believe we all want Leo to be the best it can be. Jake On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 8:45 AM Edward K.
