So your next step as a power user is to read the code to answer your
question :-) You too, Thomas.
Search for 'goto-next-visible' in leoPy.leo (your personal copy of
LeoPyRef.leo) or LeoPyRef.leo itself.
Leo uses decorators to define each command. By convention, all command
names start with a single quote.
You will find:
@g.commander_command('goto-next-visible')
def selectVisNext(self: Cmdr, event: LeoKeyEvent = None) -> None:
"""Select the visible node following the presently selected node."""
c, p = self, self.p
if not p:
return
if c.canSelectVisNext():
p.moveToVisNext(c)
c.treeSelectHelper(p)
else:
c.endEditing() # 2011/05/28: A special case.
The special case only happens if the move *doesn't* happen, so let's
assume, as the name implies, that c.treeSelectHelper sets the focus.
Note: any Leo dev should know that p.moveToVisNext has no effect on Leo's
gui. Only 'c' (Commander) methods do that.
So your attention should immediately shift to *c.treeSelectHelper*. Search
for def treeSelectHelper:
def treeSelectHelper(self, p: Position) -> None:
c = self
if not p:
p = c.p
if p:
# Do not call expandAllAncestors here.
c.selectPosition(p)
c.redraw_after_select(p)
c.treeFocusHelper() # This is essential.
The last line executed is *c.treeFocusHelper*:
def treeFocusHelper(self) -> None:
c = self
if c.stayInTreeAfterSelect:
c.treeWantsFocus()
else:
c.bodyWantsFocus()
So the ivar *c.stayInTreeAfterSelect *determines the focus.
Within Leo, c is an instance of the *Commands* class. Search for class
Commands. You'll see lots of ivars.
Within the class node, search for *stayInTreeAfterSelect*. First you'll
find:
self.stayInTreeAfterSelect = False
Keep searching! In *c.initConfigSettings* you'll find:
c.stayInTreeAfterSelect = getBool('stayInTreeAfterSelect')
So there should be a setting,
*@bool stayInTreeAfterSelect*
Use Leo's 'leo-settings' command (*Alt-X leo-set<tab>*) to open
LeoSettings.leo.
Search for *@bool stayInTreeAfterSelect*
You'll find the default is True. The body text contains:
True: (Recommended) Selecting an outline node leaves the focus in the
outline pane.
If this is False it will be harder to use the arrow keys in the headline.
False: (Legacy) Selecting an outline node transfers focus to the body pane.
How hard was that?
