feature request : outline the context list

[robisme (Olivier R)]

Hi,

I'd like you to develop a way of outlining the context list, in order to facilitate the pick-up and management of contexts.

This way :

> Places

> People

> Activities

Becoming:

V Places

      @Coruscant

      @Dantooine

      @Geonosis

      @Kamino

      @Naboo

V People

      @Leonard

      @Sheldon

      @Penny

      @Howard

      @Rajesh

V Activities

      @Diy

      @Errand

      @Internet

Is it possible?

Olivier

Hi, Olivier. I can identify one potential obstacle and one workaround.

Contexts are not actually hierarchical,  they are a network, as in @a contains @b, @b contains @c, @c contains @a. I question whether this is a particularly useful  feature but that's how it works at this point.  This kind of thing would be difficult to impossible to portray in the outline format that you are proposing.

For a workaround,  consider varying the first character of each context name. For me, a context starting @ is a person, # is an area of focus, ¤ is a place, ! Is a tool and so on. Ease of selection is achieved by typing the first character and receiving a short drop-down list of included contexts.

That is what I do.
My purpose is not to manage the ''belonging'' of contexts, but just to avoid the huge flat list. Ergonomic matter indeed.
I don't want to change the philosophy of contexts, but just find them quicker.
