The title of this thread made me remember when I discovered Leo: it was
back in 2002 on slashdot... reading the description I just had to try it
out!
https://slashdot.org/story/02/08/28/1655207

Here are two utility commands/scripts I use that help with this kind of
thing.
1) get_plugins -- Show all plugins with their their docstrings.
2) Create Outline From Clipboard -- With a copied node or entire outline in
the clipboard, create a new outline from it.
Run *get_plugins * with CTRL

I think they're part of the nav_qt.py (or similarly named) plugin. Might
not have it in @enabled-plugins :)

I'm not even sure I'm a programmer, but reading this, I guess I'm not.

I don't think anyone is going to do much more documentation - and it would
be hard to organize in a way that is both helpful and practical to search.

Actually, I discovered the existence of Sphinx as a side effect of my
discovery of leo.

On the subject of CTRL-clicking, Leo has a feature that is fantastic when
you are cruising around in its source code trying to learn how something
works. If you CTRL-click on a method invocation, you will get transported
to its definition. It misses once in a while, but usually works.

Oh, yes, and when you get a long listing in a tab like the commands
listing, you can select all the output with the usual CTRL-A and copy it
with the usual CTRL-C. Then you can paste it somewhere that is more
readable, like a Leo node or a text editor.

It's true that there can be a huge learning curve if you want to get beyond
the obvious and do some custom things. Yet if you learn to use @file and
@clean files, and especially if you want to develop in Python, or do some
Sphinx-style documentation, you can get that going pretty easily. Becau
Well, I came across leo last week, looking for a python IDE that would
(potentially)
- run on Windows
- allow to make the resulting python run on a separate computer (same
network but different subnet) for security reasons, maybe on Linux.
- ideally, the python script could run with another user

Hehe. It's an arguable point.
There is also an argument for cleanups, when possible.

Quite an interesting project. Your post is now in LeoDocs.leo and will
appear on Leo's web site when it gets updated.

I employed Leo for an oddball use case, which it addressed beautifully.
How long ago did this start, perhaps 2005?
The job that I held then required that, without help from work
infrastructure or from colleagues, I write tools for diagnosing and
repairing problems with installations of a comp

Thanks for this thread. I've been trying to recall my own path of
discovery. No concrete memory has emerged, but it was somewhere in the
intersection of being dissatisfied with wiki notes and mind

Hi,
I came about Leo because I was interested in Learning Python and some

and then I found that it supported a form of literate programming, which

I think I discovered Leo as a result of a fleeting interest
in literate programming. Don't recall the date, but it was
before Leo was ported from C++ to Python.
When I learned that Edward lived across town, kitty-corner
from a high school sweetheart, I was SOLD!

I think I was using Freemind before Leo, although I'd spent a long time
using the console based outliner hnb, which apparently has been
resurrected as tines https://github.com/larrykollar/tines

I found Leo when I was looking for an outliner that supported clones,
ran on Linux, and wasn't a website. I live on a farmlet on the edge of

I found Leo when I was looking for a replacement for ECCO (anyone remember

and the core group of diehard users finally lost hope the program owners
would open source the code.

It has been almost 14 months since I discovered Leo and today I recalled
how I found it.
I was searching GitHub for the term "QWidgetAction" and came across its
usage in Leo codebase.
And then curiosity killed the cat and I was curious about Leo and read
about it and downloaded it as well.
