Push to child

[Daniel Rairigh]

As I work to migrate my existing code and notes into Leo, it seems to me that it would be really handy to be able to select a block of body text and "push" it into a child node. Is there a quick/efficient way to do this?
Currently I select the block, cut it, Cltr+Insert, Enter, Paste, Ctrl+H, Type the title

Thank you,

Yes, there's extract (Ctrl-Shift D)

extract (Ctrl+Shift+D)

Create child node from the selected body text. 1. If the selection
starts with a section reference, the section name become the child's
headline. All following lines become the child's body text. The section
reference line remains in the original body text. 2. If the selection
looks like a Python class or definition line, the class/function/method
name becmes child's headline and all selected lines become the child's
body text. 3. Otherwise, the first line becomes the child's headline,
and all selected lines become the child's body text.

Awesome! That is just what I needed.

Thank you.
