Extract command

[Rob]

I use the Extract command frequently (Ctrl-Shift-D) to create nodes from body text; very useful command. However, I usually prefer the created node to be be the first child node, not the last, so I end up having to move the node to the first position. Is there a way to change the default behavior or to use a script that does essentially does the same thing as Extract, but places the node first?

BTW, I looked in the leoCommands.py file for some clues, but only found a small menu reference; not sure where else to look.

Hi Rob,

I think this is a good place to start: c_ec.extract & helpers.

insertAsLastChild() seems to be the operator but there doesn't appear to be such a thing as insertAsFirstChild() or insertAsNextChild() so I am not sure where to go from here.

HTH,

Chris

Thanks, but where would I find that (which xxx.py file)? I assume it's in the core folder somewhere?

Ah, it is in LeoPyRef.leo under File, Open Specific Leo File.

p.insertAsNthChild(0)

You can discover this using Alt-0 p.insert<tab>.

Alt-0 opens up a small window with the text of the current node; no option to add anything else or interact with it in any way that I can tell. This is in Windows.

For me, Alt-o opens the Outline menu. Alt-0 (zero) opens the vr pane with a render of whatever is in the body.

I think I get the same as Rob. Maybe the little window is an undocked vr pane?

Correction: Alt-1 toggles the autocompleter.
