Ok, I just did that. But I don't understand why we went through the four headings to create the node in your prototype (I copied that for my first attempt), but for this new one all we do is write the title and then ID it and time stamp it and that's our zettel. One heading instead of four. No @rst headings, no @path heading. Don't understand what's going on. Also realized I don't have to title it until I'm darn good and ready. And I don't have to ID it and time stamp it before writing either. I can do those later as well. All of that is a great help, yet my optimum situation would still be: no matter where I am in my system, when a new thought strikes, I just hit a hot key and start typing. I don't have to locate and go to the outline where I want the new zettel, position the focus and the cursor where I want the new zettel. Probably I don't even know yet where I will want it, but at any rate I don't want to think about any of that. Just hit a hot key and type. Take care of all the overhead later, after I've completed the thought. With The Archive zettelkasten software, for example, you hit command-N and start typing. That simple. In Mr. Luhmann's case, he pulls a new blank slip from his supply, directly to hand I presume, and starts writing. Does the overhead later. And people thought this pure genius! Maybe it is. I'm not easy to get along with, am I? And your proper response to me, I would think, will be, "Son, if you want things exactly your way like that, learn python and Leo yourself and learn how to make stuff like that happen!" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
