Good points Jack - I was going to post something similar.
There are many who use terminal mode for all sorts of reasons which may
not be obvious and which is not just sys admin work. For example, people
who like to use tmux or do pair programming (or paired writing, such as
for co-authoring of

bastien's request to have separate threads/conversations per
suggestion.]
another useful change imo would be to allow categories to have their
own faces, selectable by regexp (so "^m-.*" could be yellow). similar
to tags and todo kw.

HI Bob,
In my testing, all font-related settings get ignored when running in
terminal mode, except for the colors.

This is definitely the case. I also don't use Spacemacs, but know a few
people who got started thanks to it. I even have a

some ideas might be useful - thanks again.
Can you take ideas one by one and
Ok, I see what you're saying. You're proposing to have TODO states and
other tags on the left of the heading title in fixed pitch, and the
heading title in variable pitch. In my current setup the whole heading
is fixed in Agenda and variable in normal buffers. I agree it would be
good to have
hi texas,
apologies for any attribution errors.
headers in the agenda are on the right. so there is nothing to line
up except tags, which are also not lined up in the outline. so they
can be variable pitch ...
... unless you make headers line up with /one another/?

That seems to be a quote from Zamboni's page. AFAIK, visual line mode
is the opposite of using a fill column.

i would be over the moon if you could make headers in the agenda variable pitch.
not only would it look better and

i wasn't clear on the difference between beautifying list markers and
using org bullets.
this is really impressive. does it have a fill column?
Thanks for the insight on why things are the way they are. Sounds like
the Spacemacs layer is the correct place to address legibility.
Knowing this will help me argue my case at Spacemacs.
I planned to mine the Zamboni post already. mixed-mode must be obscure
indeed if he didn't know about it
Hi,
I think it's a noble effort to popularize org-mode and to make it easier to
use. And I learned today about mixed-pitch :)
However, a lot of visual configuration depends on fonts, colors, and other
things which may vary a lot between users. While most of us by now probably
use a graphical

mixed-pitch-mode is quite nice and does work well generally. It doesn't
work well with org-indent-mode, unfortunately, as the spacing used by
