I'm writing a little helper function for use when I'm starting work on a particular long-term writing project. Basically I found myself doing the same little ritual of commands two or three times a day, and I got tired of it. Here's what I've got so far, it's pretty self-explanatory. The "my-" variables are set elsewhere.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun my-project-start () (interactive) (delete-other-windows) (find-file my-project-file) ;; here's where I go to the most recent Chapter heading (org-narrow-to-subtree) (split-window-horizontally) (other-window 1) (goto-char (point-max)) (read-abbrev-file my-project-abbrev-file) ) #+END_SRC The bit I'm missing is in the comment above. The file is full of different headings, most (but not all) of which look like * Chapter XXX I've looked at the code for org-goto, but it's a wee bit complicated, and I don't need to do things like pushing to the mark ring. My question is, what's the simplest way to either: 1. Jump to the "Chapter" heading with the largest number 2. Jump to the bottom-most "Chapter" heading (the bottom-most heading is not a Chapter) Additionally, in this case is there any practical difference between using narrowing or using an indirect buffer? I'm not doing anything but writing… Thanks! Eric
