Re: Curses gui progress report

​Good progress to report.  LeoMLTree.update has been refactored within an
inch of its life. As a result, I am much more comfortable with what is
happening, and I also can see the dogs that aren't barking.

The way forward is as follows:

1. Don't use *any* of the MultiLine base code for drawing the tree or
keeping track of the contents of the tree.  Replace all that with vnodes.
LeoMLTree will see be a subclass of MultiLine, so as to have access to
event handling, widget layout, etc.

2. There is no need for *any* persistent headline widgets! The reason is
simple: the npyscreen code doesn't use widgets to draw outlines!

3. tree.edit_widget can just return a string wrapper every time it is
called!  This will be a subclass of StringTextWrapper in leoFrame.py. No
need for any of the "association" dict used in the Qt gui code.

All this will collapse the complexity of the tree code. The curses gui may
soon be fully functional.

I just did a cff in leoSettings.leo to find all occurrences o​f vim.  That
yields, among other settings:

  @bool vim-mode = False

Set this to True in myLeoSettings.leo to use vim mode.

The other alternative is to enable the vim.py plugin.  This allows you to
edit individual nodes in the "real" vim.

I prepare the rst document according to the documentation. When it is
complete, I run the rst3 command from the menu. I then use the *.html.txt
file that it outputs with the rst2odt command from the terminal to output
the odt file. From there I open it in LibreOffice and usually save as Win
97 Doc file for compatibility with the folks who need such things.

Programming language support via the language server protocol

Hi,

I wonder if adopting and implementing the 'language server protocol' would 
be of benefit to Leo.

Rob, docutils installed a bunch of rst2 on my system.
The rst2odt script does a pretty good job of converting the RST document to
odt from the command line.

As mentioned in a recent Engineering notebook post, the next phase involves

I am now in what I call a "wrestling with code" phase. It's definitely a 
physical process. I also think of it as sculpting clay.

Leo is the perfect tool for this kind of thing.  I can copy/paste code from 
npyscreen classes for reference while working on subclasses.

The goal is to use Leo's existing vnode structure instead of the 
corresponding npyscreen TreeData objects.  Clearly, the goal is feasible. 
Leo's tree resources are far richer than npyscreen's. In practice, only the 
LeoMLTree.update method will change, so the task is in some sense bounded.

But this task is not straightforward.  I am in the process of "unwinding" 
the twisty little maze of calls to adapter methods in the MLTree class. 
This unwinding process will simplify the code and deepen my understanding 
of what *exactly* is going on. As the code gets simpler the way forward 
will start to emerge.

​Rev 6f1a321 fixes the proximate cause of this crash, namely an undefined

​reportlab.lib.styles can't be imported.

I'm not sure whether this fix will be enough.

Presumably the better solution will be to pip install reportlab.
