The only way I found so far to create a drawer is to actually type the damn thing in (I'm talking about my own drawers, not the special drawers that org knows something about). I didn't find any utility functions to insert drawers (except for :PROPERTIES:), and somewhat to my surprise, completion does not seem to work for drawer names: I expected typing a colon and M-TAB would allow me to use drawer names for completion, but it seems to only care about property keys, even if I'm not in the context of a :PROPERTIES: drawer. Am I missing something?
Thanks, Nick
