Asap: find/replace that newbies can use

I am shocked by the response to the Find/Replace tutorial. Leo must have find/replace commands that newbies can use. This will be part of Leo 4.11.1. I'd like to target this for the next week or so. The new find replace will likely be based on scite and similar editors: - A separate Search me

Where do I find the most up-to-date stable version of Leo?

Warning: pls don't change qtGui.py, leoFind.py or leoEditCommands.py for now.

I'm in the midst of a grand rewrite of the find code. Long overdue, and the *only* way to fix find-related bugs. Please don't change the indicated files until this finishes, which will likely be a day or two. The rewrite should be worth any temporary inconveniences :-) Let me know if an emerg

Customizing the UI with myLeoSettings.leo

Re: Customizing the UI with myLeoSettings.leo

It took me a while to grasp the flexibility behind the way Leo currently does settings. Reading the "Configuring Leo" section of the documentation about six times while experimenting with a set of settings was instructive. I can now use myLeoSettings.leo and per outline settings to great effect.
