Excellent. Does the qt gui work?

The bindings work on Ubuntu and Windows, but not necessarily on MacOS
because of different key names and usages. Have you tried setting:
@bool swap_mac_keys = True
The comment in the node says:
True (legacy): Translate control-only keys to command keys on the Mac.
False (recommended): No translation.

This is only indirectly a Tk problem. Leo can not determine, from the key
event itself, what key caused the event(!) This is a giant hole in the Tk
api, but nobody in the Tk world seems to care.
As a result, Leo must create a separate binding for *all* keys that have a
entry in an @settings node. So any bindings issues are due to settings in
@shortcuts nodes.
I'll be happy to add a node/tree for Mac-centric bindings if you contribute
it.
syntax coloring is only a start. Is there any other support?
What support would you like?

It works using the qt gui. There are focus problems with the tk gui that
cause the minibuffer to reset to a single character. I had forgotten about
this in the recent flurry of activity. I'll declare this a 3-day bug.
Almost no editors get [indenting] right.
Debatable. I prefer the present way with auto-indent following a colon.
We never argue about preferences in Leo, so I'll add the operation you
describe as option. Another 3-day bug.

It is.
@tabwidth 8 # hard tabs, 8 characters wide.
@tabwidth -4 # tab with 4 spaces.
There doesn't seem to be a setting that sets default tab width. It appears
hard-code at -4. It would be trivial to add such a setting if its lack
bothers you.
