Can I now write: X[fn:1] [1] foot If so, why the need for the fanciness? Why not just require label and reference to be the same? I doesn’t sound like something that would be nice to have to explain to an Org newcomer. > I don't really mind adding it back, but it ought to be a separate > function, with a different design.

You can probably get the desired style with (Footnote-set-style 'unicode). We can eventually add keybindings for footnote-mode in norgstruct that resemble Org, if necessary.
