Subject: Simplification of outline-minor-mode
Date: Fri, 21 May 2021 23:03:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-9c29b952-79aa-420f-bbc8-57fca4868f66-1621631021133@3c-app-mailcom-bs04> (raw)


Could there be some consistency in outline-mode as it does get very confusing.
For instance, "Show Branches", "Show Children", "Hide Leaves", "Hide Sublevels".
Lot of esoteric names (leaves, brances), and then it switches to human beings
(children).

If there is "show branches", can there be "hide branches"!

And rather than "Hide Body", call it more appropriately (e.g. Hide All Bodies, Hide Bodies)
Then "Hide body" would mean hide body or current heading.

A very useful thing to have is to show an additional level at a time (e.g Show Sublevel,
Hide Sublevel).

Regards
Peter
