Sorry about the premature post - send key malfunction :) One other thing I've done for dealing with folded text is use my binding for F9-v which toggles visibility mode on and off. This unfolds _everything_ and makes it possible to see what you are changing (usually because I accidentally edited something in a folded region and want to see exactly what I'm undoing to fix it) (global-set-key (kbd "<f9> v") 'visible-mode) HTH, Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
