This is a question for Org API users regarding 'org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-final-hook and how it is to be understood.
As per the docstring This can be used to add additional functionality to the C-c C-c key which executes context-dependent commands. This hook is run after any other test, ... should the 'message in the hook function below be executed? (add-hook 'org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-final-hook (function (lambda () (message "org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-final-hook called from %s" (org-element-type (org-element-context))) t))) In fact, the hook isn't run at all, although it makes no assumptions whatsoever about its context. Is this the way things are intended or is this behaviour a bug? What I'm trying to achieve is to post-process a standard Org element. However, my target element is already taken care of by one of the patterns in 'ctrl-c-ctrl-c, so the hook-caller is never reached. As a workaround, I take advantage of the rest of the above docstring ... while ‘org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook’ is run before the first test. and add to this hook a function that recursively calls 'org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c before it does its own work - which seems incredibly kludgy. Thanks for any feedback. Regards Thomas
