Even as a user of the Bookmarks plugin, I found the current docstring a little daunting so I prepared an updated "User Guide + Bookmark pane setup". I used your most helpful video Terry Brown demos bookmarks <https://vimeo.com/77720098> at http://leoeditor.com/screencasts.html as a guide.
A few explanations: I elaborated on the 'Save the Bookmark layout' step to ensure all the users work is not lost if they close Leo early. I left the option for 'bookmarks-show' starting the setup process in notes at the end, as you didn't mention it in the video. You may prefer to talk about it earlier. I think it's a more accessible guide to using the plugin and might encourage more Leo users to enjoy the benefits. Feel free to use it if you like. All comments welcome :) *User Guide* -------------- *Bookmark pane setup* ................................... Create a node to store your bookmarks, and name it to suit. For example "Bookmarks for Leo" - Select the node. - Right click the pane divider, and click [insert] - an [Action] button bar appears. - click [Action] and click [bookmarks] - a blank bookmarks pane will appear - Click once into this new pane - the bookmark node is now ready to customise. Save the Bookmark layout .................................. - Right click the pane divider, and click [Save layout], a dialog box appears. Enter a layout name and save. - Saving your bookmarks layout is essential. Otherwise bookmarks won't reload when you re-open your file. Arranging your bookmarks pane ................................... - Improve the position of your bookmarks pane: - Right click the pane divider, and select Swap 1 above , 1 below (option may vary depending on your 'split_orientation' setting) - The Bookmarks pane will move to the top, swapping places with the outline pane. Adding a bookmark ................................... - Select a node in your Outline Pane. - Now click once in the bookmark pane, and you will see a button for the node appear in the bookmarks pane. Navigating with the Bookmark pane ..................................... - click on a bookmark; your cursor moves to that node. Reorder bookmarks ..................................... Select a bookmark node in the Bookmark subtree, then use ctrl-u (move up) and ctrl-d (move down) An alternate method: ctrl<click> to delete. Then click in the pane for the new preferred location. These commands are available by hovering over the pane then Right-click: [ Link bookmark to this node ] [ Rename-bookmark ] [ Edit bookmark in tree ] [ Delete bookmark ] [ Add this node as a child bookmark ] [ Show child bookmarks ] Duplicate bookmarks ..................................... If you select a node for bookmarking that is already bookmarked, the existing button will flash red in the bookmarks pane. Simply select the red button to clear the duplicate bookmark. Notes- There is another method to setup bookmarks, using the bookmarks plugin command ' bookmarks-show'. Plugins> Bookmarks> bookmarks-show A blank bookmarks pane will appear. Continue the setup as described earlier. Regards Lewis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
