You would have to move back to Leo to move from node to node. You could imagine, say, `:leo-up` and similar commands that would simulate an up arrow in Leo's outline pane, updating the body pane (that is, vim) in the process. I expect to play with these ideas in prototypes. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
