Probably, if you want to learn about PyQt and messing with the Leo
interface, it wouldn't be a bad thing to try, although having used
a GUI library before would help with the concepts.

Commands -> Body Editors -> Add Editor creates a second body editor,
and gives each exactly the headline you're describing - might not be
the simplest piece of code to poke around in though.

There's also the `edit-headline-long` command, but that's for editing.

Headline in body text?

[Ross Burnett]

I am poking around in the LeoDocs.leo file, and the *Leo 5.4 /* *Bugs fixed* 
children have some headlines that are longer than fit in the default-sized 
outline window.  For example: 
  Fixed #289: Leo crashes with unusual combination of @clean and .leo file

To view the entire headline, I need to scroll right in the outline, or I 
can see the entire headline in the status area at the bottom in a smaller 
font, but is there a way to automatically mirror the headline at the top of 
the body text so it can be more easily read? 
I think it might also add context to the body text.

Or would this need to be my first plugin?

I appreciate the quick response.

Creating a shortcut - that I can do, but am unable to locate leo.exe in the 
installation.  The only .exe I could find is LeoApp  

Re: most recent sourceforge page (Home  
/ Leo 
 / 5.4-final)  - is there 
documentation about the various downloads? Some are mentioned in the Leo 
doc pages, but not in detail.

I believe in the awesomeness of your system, and really, really want to 
learn and use it, but I guess I need to become more educated about the 
various tools that are needed for development and deployment, which I need 
to do anyway. I've been developing in Cobol for IBM mainframes off and on 
since the early '70's when I used to power up and IPL a 360-30 with 64k ram 
and load my programs via the cardreader when I worked on the weekends.  But 
Cobol is not so good for windows desktop apps.

Thanks again,
RSB

Re: Where are uA's (links and tags?) stored?

[Largo84]

After some further experimenting, links are *not* lost w/ @clean files, but 
*are* lost w/ @auto-x files. I suppose that's because the .leo file keeps a 
full copy of the @clean file inside, while the @auto-x data is read into 
the .leo on load. Am I correct?

Where are uA's (links and tags?) stored?

[Largo84]

I get the following messages when reopening a .leo file:

backlink: link to xyz overview from ??? lost
backlink: link from abc to ??? lost

The lost links are nodes inside @auto-md files, so can I assume that the 
link information (are these considered uA's?) is lost because these files 
are 'clean' of Leo sentinels? Should I further infer from this that all 
linking (or tagging) information will be lost for nodes in @clean or any 
other @auto-x files?

Anyone else seeing this or have suggestions to work around?

Did you mean to point to a different link?

​No.  I meant what I said. leo.exe is, indeed, a stand-alone version of
Leo. Nothing else is required. You can create a link to it and put it on
the desktop.

Having said this, I don't recommend the stand-alone version of Leo.
Downloading Anaconda is easier in the long run.  A gazillion scientists use
Anaconda as the base of IPython.  Anaconda gives you pip, and once you have
pip installing other packages is a snap. And once you pip install git,
keeping Leo up-to-date with git pull is also a snap.

In short, focusing on one-step installation is counter-productive in the
long run. Anaconda, pip and git are tools worth a little work to get.
