Some outline commandsΒΆ
You can use Leo as fairly typical outliner. Click the expansion box of nodes to show and hide their children.
Play around with some of the commands from the Outline menu or from the minibuffer. The keyboard shortcut and minibuffer key sequence appear in parentheses. Note: as usual, you can use tab completion in the minibuffer.
Edit Headline (Ctrl+H or <Alt-x>edit-headline<return>)
Begins editing of the headline text of a node. To end editing, hit <return> or <Ctrl-g>
Insert Node (Ctrl+I or <Alt-x>insert-node<return>)
Inserts a new headline into the outline.
Cut Node (Ctrl+Shift+X or <Alt-x>cut-node<return>)
Deletes a node and all its descendants, copying them to the clipboard.
Paste Node (Ctrl+Shift+V or <Alt-x>paste-node<return>)
Pastes a tree copied by the Cut Node command.
Copy Node (Ctrl+Shift+C or <Alt-x>copy-node<return>)
Copies a node and all its descendants to clipboard without deleting it from outline. You can copy a tree from one Leo outline to another using Copy Node and Paste Node.
Contract or Go Left (Alt-Left-Arrow or <Alt-x>contract-or-go-left<return)
Contracts a node if it is expanded, otherwise selects its parent.
Expand and Go Right (Alt-Right-Arrow or <Alt-x>expand-and-go-right<return>)
Select a node’s first child, expanding the original node if needed.
Goto Prev Visible (Alt-Up-Arrow or <Alt-x>goto-prev-visible<return>)
Select the previous visible node.
Goto Next Visible (Alt-Down-Arrow or <Alt-x>goto-next-visible<return>)
Select the next visible node.
Move Up (Ctrl+U or <Alt-x>move-outline-up<return>)
Moves a node up in the outline.
Move Down (Ctrl+D or <Alt-x>move-outline-down<return>)
Moves a node down.
Move Left (Ctrl+L or <Alt-x>move-outline-left<return>)
Moves a node left.
Move Right (Ctrl+R or <Alt-x>move-outline-right<return>)
Moves a node right.
Promote (Ctrl+} or <Alt-x>promote<return>)
Makes all the children of a node to be siblings of the node.
Demote (Ctrl+{ or <Alt-x>demote<return>)
Makes all following siblings of a node to be children of the headline.
Please experiment with Leo’s outline now. Move around the tree and expand/collapse nodes by pressing Alt + arrow keys. This also moves the focus to tree, so, after pressing Alt + arrow, you can move around by using arrow keys alone. Return the focus to the body control by pressing Enter.
