This is something I've wanted for years in org-mode, but which in some
ways could actually be _offensive_ to its ideals. If you're an outline
purist, look away.
It's something we can do with plain lists: work on a list item at level
X, then make a sublist at level X+1, and then "pop" back up to the same
list item you had been working on at level X, without needing a new
header. You just adjust the indentation.
+ Some stuff at this level.
+ More stuff at this level.
Might even have multiple paragraphs.
- a sublevel, for a digression
And back to the same higher level, even without a new bullet.
I use org-mode to keep daily notes at work, sometimes almost
stream-of-consciousness, and often wished I could digress and then pop back.
So, I present a pre-alpha version,
https://gist.github.com/clsn/09ac4b098b6ad7366bb5e0bc88882d5f of
org-pop-mode. To "pop" back up, create a headline at the level you're
popping back to, and give it a tag of "contd", and the headline text
should not be something important. Instructions and explanations are in
the comments of the file (the part about installing from MELPA is a lie,
though).
Any feedback?
