What features did you like in MORE?

For me, a new MORE user, the question is: what features do I like in MORE?

I like cloning. I have a to-do list that has a priorities headline, under which I put the most important items. This priorities headline contains clones only.

Hoisting is cool too. I have a log with a headline for each day. I like to hoist the current day, so I see only the current day.

I didn’t expect to use Rules much, but I do. Usually in very simple ways. For instance, when I paste an email into an outline I like to color-code it, so later I can see immediately it’s a pasted email.

I like that I can get a line break in a headline via option-return.

I like that there’s no difference between edit mode and selection mode and that cursor keys are flat. (I set my copies of Frontier to use flat cursor keys now too.) Outline navigation is pretty easy via keyboard.

There are some things I don’t like: command-. and command-, to expand and collapse. I wish the numeric keypad + and - worked. Also: I haven’t figured out how to select multiple headlines and move them at the same time.

Comments I don’t care about at all. At least so far—that may change.
