I said previously that clones are just fine as they are. What is needed
isn't fancier clones, but rather better search commands.
Rev c8a3581c9 adds two commands that is already revolutionizing my workflow:
- cffm, short for clone-find-flattened-marked
- cfam, short for clone-find-all-marked
These commands create a "target" node as the last top-level node, and clone
all marked nodes under the target node. cffm makes each marked node a
child of the target. cfam does not create a child for marked nodes that are
descendants of a marked node.
This makes gathering nodes a snap. Just go through the outline, marking the
desired nodes, then execute cfam or cffm. I prefer cffm because all found
nodes appear as direct children of the target. These two commands are much
better than auto-moving clones as they are made, as I had intended to do
yesterday.
Leo's clone-find and clone-find-marked commands allow me to quickly gather
desired nodes without duplicates, *regardless *of how many clones there are
in an outline. These commands, along with cff and cfa, are the *magic
bullets* for searching that I have wanted for decades.
Please try these commands. They are extremely useful.
