I basically agree. However, the proposed mapping between SEXP movement commands in programming modes and in org-mode seems rather loose: Presumably the intended mapping is C-c C-n <--> C-M-n "n command" C-c C-f <--> C-M-f "f command" That suggests that the n command in Org-mode should skip over the next subtree, like forward-list; however, it advances over a body to the start of the next subtree. In fact, isn't there an argument that the Org bindings are the wrong way round? If we define in Org-mode: - atom :: the body of a heading - SEXP :: an atom, or a subtree then the n command in Org-mode currently behaves a bit like forward-sexp (C-M-f) , whereas the f command in Org-mode behaves a bit like forward-list (C-M-n).
