Re: Jeff R: What emacs features do you want?

I apologize it's taken me to long to follow up. Again, for the record, I am a professional who codes for fun, and who enjoys writing tools that I use in my job. I know some python, elisp, and cs basics and use linux. (For example, I do not know what Pyzo is or what it does!) Here are the

Re: Jeff R: What emacs features do you want?

Hi, Many interesting use case from your original perspective. Leo was my main outliner to (de)construct complex text, as a researcher and PhD student. Clones are a killer feature on that front and I still use Leo to read and organize code which has been written by others. On your particular

Re: Jeff R: What emacs features do you want?

I apologize for my slow response. I do not know whether I am remotely close to the intended audience for Leo, but I can say that Leo does not feel far from the type of tool I would use on a regular basis. By way of background, I am an attorney and I run a solo law practice. I use emacs, and

Re: Jeff R: What emacs features do you want?

Edward, I'm in a similar situation, I can give my own short experience. The more one uses emacs the more it becomes obvious that it is not an editor or an IDE or a PIM, but simply contains all those things. emacs is not an integrated development environment (IDE) but rather an integrated

Jeff R: What emacs features do you want?

Jeff R: I have moved off of Leo and now use Emacs, mostly for org-mode but also for whatever else is useful. Emacs itself has features that I can't give up, or at least am not willing to right now. What are those features? Adding them to Leo might make Leo substantially better. Edward --
