There is a nice demo at http://maxthink.org/demo3/A02%20-%20Many%20ways%20to%20move%20topics.html (yes, I hate Flash as well). And yes, I was wrong about the Prioritize. The question which you are repeatedly asked is “Which of the remaining unordered items is number 1/most important/etc.?" ... that nicely helps ordering huge list. |
MaxThink seems to be an application with some logic and workflow built-in to handle lists and outlines. Is the plan that this should also be implemented in VO? With a dedicated plugin? |
I don't think so. See the threads linked above … I would like to keep it as free of any logic possible. More like an exploration how far we can go just with text manipulation and vim macros. |

I think this is still just in the thinking state, so no milestone. |
With reference to http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.editors.vim.outliner/5411/ I would like to think about the following functions:
Binsort
You have a long unordered list and with one key commands you can throw each item to the particular bin (key shortcut being probably somehow derived from the name of the bin ... but that may be later enhancement, first we can have just 1,2,3,...).
Categorize
Switch fence-marked one-level deep list to the proper outline (fenced items are categories)
Levellize
Opposite of the previous one.
Prioritize
Again a long list of topic which should be ordered by some unquantifiable order. Splits the screen between ordered and unordered items (the latter part is a way way smaller) and picks one item from the unordered items. Just with arrow keys you move the item up and down. It is a way easier to think at once about the position of one item, than about whole thing. @noelhenson , is it the correct description?)
Document splitting
Split the current line into topics, with division being space, comma, full stop, (RegExp?)
