(I am the original reporter of the issue on the Debian BTS.) That is useful information for me, and I will use those keys. I do worry about one point, namely that C-c C-> (outline-demote) should still work. And it does work in regular outline mode. For example, if I rename my test file to c.otl and then use C-c C-> on the main heading, all the subtrees are demoted as I expected. Whereas in org mode the leaf subtree gets a space instead of a * when it is being demoted. So, I wonder whether org mode is somehow messing up outline-demote without meaning to? I am far from an expert on the org.el lisp code, and maybe the current org-mode behavior is the intended result. But I worry that it is not intended and instead is an accidental side effect of something else. -Sanjoy
