Tip - Finding Leo's Documentation More Easily

[Thomas Passin]

I keep an outline in which I'm slowly building up bits of information about Leo (and Linux, Python, whatever).  I wanted to find the table of Leo's hooks today.  I didn't want to fish around the various Leo files and web pages trying to find it.  Instead, I knew I had it in my outline so I searched using the Nav tab for "hook".  It found the headline Table Of Leo's Hooks. This node contains the link:

unl:gnx://LeoDocs.leo#ekr.20050903074833.1

CTRL-clicking on the link opened the LeoDocs.leo outline to the desired node. Beautiful!

I get the target UNL of the node I'm viewing with this code:

"""Copy UNL of current position to clipboard."""
p = c.p
g.app.gui.replaceClipboardWith(p.get_UNL())

Then I paste the UNL into the outline I'm using to capture these bits of information.

If you’re a mouse user, you can right click -> copy on the UNL at the bottom of the window, underneath the minibuffer.

Right, I forgot about that.  I used to copy the UNLs that way until I set up a menu item with the script I showed.
