Hi,
org mode has apparently been rewritten somehow. At least I noticed a few
differences
after updating to the new Debian version. For instance, it got much faster.
GREAT!
There is one feature however that I really miss: It used to be that I could add
an entry
with a certain number of stars in the first line, and then 'org-global-cycle'
using S-TAB
would allow to make all the headlines visible only up to that many stars. For
instance,
a file with
*** -
* 1
Text 1
** 2
Text 2
*** 3
Text 3
**** 4
Text 4
after one or two S-TAB (depending on the initial folding state) would look like
*** -
* 1
** 2
*** 3
without the 4-star headline visible. If I remove one star in the first line
and type
S-TAB once or twice, then it looks like
** -
* 1
** 2
I found that a convenient way of controlling the depth of the CONTENT view (I
believe it
is called). That does not work any more. Typing S-TAB once or twice leads to
the
CONTENTS view that shows all headlines, no matter how many stars and
independently of the
first line.
I have read that I can get the desired behavior with a numerical argument. So,
I have a
work around. GREAT!
However, I find it inconsistent, that 'org-global-cycle' and 'org-cycle' work
differently. The latter shows the old behavior (GREAT!), but can apparently
not be
controlled directly with a numerical argument, while for the former it is the
other way
around.
I suggest, to enable the trick with the first line for both 'org-global-cycle'
and
'org-cycle' and to also enable overwriting this with a numerical argument.
Here is an example for 'org-cycle'
* 1
*** -
** A
*** Aa
Text
** B
*** Ba
**** Ba1
Text
Typing TAB once or twice (depending on the initial folding state) on the main
headline (*
1) yields the view:
* 1
*** -
** A
*** Aa
** B
*** Ba
If I remove one star in the second line (*** -), typing TAB yields
* 1
** -
** A
** B
So, that still works. But a numerical argument has no effect. However, I
found that C-c
TAB (org-show-children) does this, but why not just numerical argument plus
TAB, like for
S-TAB?
Anyhow, I am extremely grateful for the org-mode and I use it daily. Thanks a
lot.
Best,
Laurenz Wiskott.
