Re: How did I came across Leo?

It's true that there can be a huge learning curve if you want to get beyond the obvious and do some custom things. Yet if you learn to use @file and @clean files, and especially if you want to develop in Python, or do some Sphinx-style documentation, you can get that going pretty easily.

Re: How did I came across Leo?

Well, I came across leo last week, looking for a python IDE that would (potentially) - run on Windows - allow to make the resulting python run on a separate computer (same network but different subnet) for security reasons, maybe on Linux. - ideally, the python script could run with another

Re: Using leo to _refactor_ Arduino c++ code and libraries. A bad idea ?

Assuming that Leo can run on the machine that cross-compiles your project, the easiest way to go would be to write a batch file that does the build - maybe there already is one - and launch that from within Leo. You can set up your project within Leo by importing all the files. It's possible

Using leo to _refactor_ Arduino c++ code and libraries. A bad idea ?

OK. Soo, one of my back burner projects (I'm only doing telecoms on the front burners, I'm not a programmer though I started programming in 1987) is to refactor a project using 8-bit RF-capable Arduinos in an IoT network. I'm still not sure leo is the right tool for that, but it could be, as

Re: Could Leo Have Canvas-type Nodes?

Good Lord, we've already got it! You can open a body editor in the tabbed log pane from the splitter right-click menu. Then you can make the whole log pane into a full-height panel. So now we can already have both VR3 (well, my non-plugin tab version is currently named "VR4") and the body in

As a proof of principle, I have already adapted VR3 to run in tab. It didn't take many changes. On Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at 8:58:59 AM UTC-4 gates...@gmail.com wrote: > I wrote the nodetags.py plugin, and a few others that use new log-pane > tabs (nodewatch, the terribly broken interactive

Re: Could Leo Have Canvas-type Nodes?

I wrote the nodetags.py plugin, and a few others that use new log-pane tabs (nodewatch, the terribly broken interactive python terminal plugin, etc.) :) Tabs are great. I've long wished that the body pane was tabbed -- would've made one of my personal "Leo Apps" much easier to implement. On

Re: Could Leo Have Canvas-type Nodes?

Picking up the theme of my previous post, how would things work from a user's point of view? There could be several types of tabs. One would be a tab to render - visualize - the selected body or subtree, the way that the viewrendered and viewrendered3 plugins do now. Think of VR3 in a

Re: Could Leo Have Canvas-type Nodes?

I'm getting very enthusiastic about this notion because I can see how it could work - from user interface, architectural, and implementation points of view. Of course, the devil is in the details and I'm only looking at an overall picture. It seems to me that a small change in Leo's design
