Something very much along these lines has been proposed before, and I
would like to try exactly what you proposed, different icons to
indicate hidden '@auto ' etc.  To make it a doable cosmetic change, and
not a major revamp of core Leo, my plan would be to have the @auto etc.
hidden when viewing the tree, but appear when you're editing a headline.

No timeline though :-/

Hiding node-type markers. Proposing: type-dependent icons

2014-05-27 Thread dufriz
>From what I have read of the documentation (I am not through yet, and my 
reading so far has been very cursory, I admit), the different types of 
nodes are identified by explicit markers in the node names, so that certain 
nodes begin with @file, @auto, etc. followed by the filename, for instance.

Is it possible to have the marker part (e.g. @file) hidden from the node 
name?

Also, could the node icons could be used to indicate visually the node 
types, so that the different types of nodes would be visually 
differentiated by different icons, and those explicit marker could be made 
(optionally) redundant?

These considerations arise from the fact that it is not very pleasant, 
while scanning through the node names, to come across the @file, @auto, 
etc. markers.

Forgive me if there is already a solution to all this. I am still 
learning...

My interest in tabbed editor is not as a novelty,
but as a facilitator of side-by-side node body versioning.

Thanks,
Kent
