Re: Following up: Leo 5.5 will challenge org mode

[Israel Hands]

At the risk of missing the point - I too was very excited about that post 
but maybe for different reasons. I would find multi-pane editing useful but 
for me not a deal breaker. Challenging org-mode at a todo, diary, capture, 
schedule and reminder level  on the other hand would be a huge plus. In 
these areas org-mode's functionality is simply the best and challenging 
these would be very exciting indeed.  Ta

I'd like to +1 that multi-pane editing mode could really be a killer 
feature.

Re: Following up: Leo 5.5 will challenge org mode

I always expected the focused pane would be c.p, all other panes would have 
no explicit reference other than being +/- N positions from c.p. I'm not 
sure I see the benefit of giving them a programmatic reference. The 
potential downside is serious, needing to wrap a more complicated model 
around Leo's existing model.

Your get-it-out-the-door solution is the simplest solution and therefor 
probably the best option.

I can't wait to see what you're able to come up with. As discussed in Feb, 
it could be a game changer for many applications. I'm really excited about 
cell based (or node based in Leo's case) jupyter-notebook and org-mode 
style interactions within Leo.
