Re: simple find and replace

2010-05-20 Thread Matt Wilkie
As near as I can tell, this old thread from Sep2009 is the clearest discussion on how search and replace in Leo is supposed to work. Yet when I followed the directions no text was changed. Anyway, after some bumping around in the dark I finally discovered the complete recipe, which I think should

You can change find settings using keystrokes: - Ctrl-F opens the find panel. - Alt-Ctrl-W toggles the Whole Word option. The underlined characters in the find remind you of the keystrokes that toggle the search options. thanks for that. hmmm,, [alt-ctrl-w] has no effect for me, or at

The present scheme works best if you never use the mouse, so that focus never goes to the find panel. ...except one can't change the current options without using the panel. Feel free to report a bug: something like not enough key bindings in the find panel. right-o:

Hi Edward, Go and don't look back, except in those moments when that's the appropriate thing to do for your own mind. While not something we look forward to, those moments when the fundamental intransience of our existence is brought into high relief are great opportunities for touching reality.

using clones in external files, safely

Hello all, I'm trying to use Leo to manage the same external file in multiple locations: e.g. single Leo source node, duplicate external files. What I want to do is have my editing files on the local machine which is checked into subversion. The scripts which have passed muster and are actually

Thanks you for the clarification and alternate approach Stephen.  ...With recent versions (e.g. 4.7.1) of Leo, if the same node is contained in multiple @thin external files, then the last file read wins, but Leo will create a node labeled Recovered nodes which contains the multiple versions

Wonderful idea! Imo, this line should appear at the start of the file, right after the #...@+leo line. I would put it at the end of the file so that people using line wrap don't have to scroll past a bunch of noise to get to the human data. -- -matt -- You received this message because you

Absence of documentation, or old/poor documentation is a hassle. Yes. And is perhaps the most consistent and most often true critique of open source projects of all stripes and generations (and a good many proprietary systems too). In short, documentation is hard, good docs doubly so. It's

Simply put, there are too many websites. Too many places to look for documentation, a.k.a help. Too many places to find out what's happening and where Leo might, or might not, be going. Prune them all except one I say. Or burn the field and plant a new one. All of the existing services Leo is
