I think it would be quite innovative if the user could move headlines/entries by 1) selecting text with the mouse, 2) using a drop-down menu option to cut the selection, 3) selecting a destination with the mouse, and 4) using a drop-down menu option to paste the text. Also, I would like to request WYSIWYG formatting. Have you considered a binary format for the files? Then we could use styles to demarcate separate sections of an org-file instead of all those asterisks!! > I also plan to add some 3D compiz-like effects that would allow some > text animation or blinking in order to make tags and keywords more > visible.
