What I mean is this: When I am editing this message in message-mode, a message-mode specific toolbar is shown (See attached screenshot). But when I am editing an Org-mode buffer, I get a bare minimal toolbar. So someone can cookup an Orgmode specific toolbar that gives a quick visual feedback on what the Orgmode can do. (See attached screenshot for LibreOffice toolbar). Specifically 1. Fontname 2. Fontsize 3. Text stlyes - Bold, Italic etc 4. Numbering On/Off. Bullets. 5. Increase, Decrease Indent 6. A "stylist" that examplifies, src-ifies, centrify a block of text. 7. Justification 8. An Icon for Exporting to HTML, ODT or PDF 1, 2 falls squarely within Emacs domain and applies to any text mode buffer. (Use local variables to persist the fontname and size) 7 is not handled by Org-mode but falls within the domain of enriched mode or facemenu. ---------------------------------------------------------------- It would be wonderful if we have mode-specific window configuration. (I am not a multi-window or multi-frame user.) Here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-12/pngDhKMlKY65v.png one can see the Navigator pane on the left and Stylist pane on the right. If one could pre-configure such windows for the existing users, one can easily traverse the document or "apply" quote, example, src styles to a block of text by simply highlighting a region and a clicking on a style. (I see navigator pane as a "docked" speedbar.) Speaking of which, docking of speedbar and multiple speedbar are other features that could be useful to have. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of visual icons, I wish the modeline or the various isearch controls be shown as little visual icons - It will give quick feedback and save lots of screen estate. ----------------------------------------------------------------
