In addition to the existing boxy family:
* [org-real](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/org-real)
* [boxy-headings](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-headings)
* [boxy-imenu](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-imenu)
Now, [boxy-info](https://gitlab.com/tygrdev/boxy-info) allows you to view the current info manual as a boxy diagram.I was slightly dissapointed that imenu (and thus boxy-imenu) doesn't work on info manuals. So I built this package specifically to handle building a lisp tree that can be iterated over for creating a boxy box.

Don't know how useful it is, but looks interesting
.

Can the same be done with org files, or headings in an org file?

u/rswgnu may be interested in this for Hyperbole and its buttons.

it feels alien in emacs. What point in using emacs and going into such gui?
ilemming · 2022-06-08 18:39
This would be very cool to integrate with Org-Roam
tjgrinn · 2022-06-08 18:40
You sure can. boxy-headings (on ELPA) is probably your best bet for navigating org files, but boxy-imenu will work as well.

Does this feature somehow take away from the reasons to use emacs? I don't see how. If someone who uses emacs thinks this could be useful for them, why shouldn't they use it?
Randomneos · 2022-06-08 19:38
You could destroy emacs whatever way you like)
Bodertz · 2022-06-08 19:48
I'm asking how it destroys emacs. I don't see how it does.

This could be a nice way to deliver a text view for https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-ui

Thanks. I have to start using org-real as it looks like a kind of mind maps.

Sheesh, man should I add "[sarcasm]" to every message? It's always cool to have some different tweaks for each user

looks fancy, but I don't think it's as ergonomic as ivy/helm. O(n) as its best.
tjgrinn · 2022-06-09 15:42
That's an interesting thought, I'm going to look into it!
kisharrington · 2022-06-09 15:43
Please update here or at least me about how that goes (or if it looks like it would take too much time). I would be very interested to hear about it!
Bodertz · 2022-06-09 18:51
I understand (and understood) you don't believe it actually destroys Emacs.

Great packages, thank you for your excellent work. I really like the boxy packages, they help me a lot!
