I do a lot of my Org navigation with `helm-org-in-buffer-headings' and `helm-org-agenda-files-headings', which prompt you for an org heading, then take you there.
I'm always annoyed that, once you're at the heading, it leaves it in a half-open state where you can see the immediate text of the target entry, but all of its child entries are replaced by an ellipses. * Target Heading Drawers and text ... # ellipses instead of child headings * Next Heading You then have to hit <tab> twice to see the children. The helm commands end by calling `org-show-entry', which first does this: (outline-flag-region (max (point-min) (1- (point))) (save-excursion (if (re-search-forward (concat "[\r\n]\\(" org-outline-regexp "\\)") nil t) (match-beginning 1) (point-max))) nil) Which leaves the heading in the state described above, and then does this: (org-cycle-hide-drawers 'children) Which has no effect. I'm not really sure what the purpose of `outline-flag-region' is, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the desired effect. The call to `org-cycle-hide-drawers' should reveal children, isn't that right? Which part of this should be tweaked to achieve the desired effect? Thanks! Eric
