However, I think newbies should be shown at least the following: - How to use the minibuffer. - How to find and change text. - How to create external files from @file. - How to create documents with @rst. - The parts of the Leo screen. > I love the hotkeys being shown!!

You weren't expected to understand ;-) The screencast will happen as soon as vim mode works. Maybe this week! There is surprisingly little to do. One of the "preliminary Aha's" was that vim mode can borrow tons of user-interface stuff *and* code from Leo. The central vim Aha is that we can have per-pane key-binding in vim mode, just as in the rest of Leo. Lots of implementation ideas clouded this fact. For example, in vim mode j can mean next-line when focus is in the body pane, *and* it can mean "select-next-visible' when focus is in the tree. That's huge: it *doubles* the space of possibilities for vim-like keystrokes. I should have seen it ages ago. The second vim aha is that we can (must!) bind vim key sequences to plain Leo commands. This opens up *all* Leo commands to vim's dot command. It's big. Furthermore, one can imagine some vim key sequence that drops into the minibuffer *and* remembers the result as part of the dot. This will be easy to do. In short, we can easily imagine that Leo's vim mode will be substantially more powerful and flexible than vim itself. For consistency, we may want to have many bindings mean the same thing in both the body pane and the outline pane, but that's optional. Best of all, each of us can play with possibilities merely by changing the @data nodes for vim mode.
