I am just starting to use org-refile. I read the manual but these
didn't seem to be there. (It's possible that I missed one or two.)
Maybe they would be of interest?
*** org-refile
***** org-refile: new command to save to the last place saved
thus, you don't need to enter any target.
***** org-refile: accept a region if transient-mark-mode
***** org-refile: allow you to enter a new item
it will create that and refile under it. might need to experiment
with different interfaces.
***** org-refile: use ido.el or similar when using path method
or iswitchb or anything.el. obviously you would not want it
to require such packages, but for those who have them.
Thanks.

You will get back to the previous target simply by pressing <up> at
the prompt, as the previous target is in the history. I'd say this
is good enough.

What do you mean by this? A region with several headlines, to
move them all?

I think this is what remember is for. If you exit a remember buffer
with `C-1 C-c C-c', the refile interface will be used to file the entry.

I don't know ido.el, what advantages would it give?

ido (Interactive Do) provides enhanced mini-buffer completion, try
evaluating the following
(require 'ido)
(ido-mode t)
then executing some simple commands which include mini-buffer completion
(find-file, describe-function, etc...). I find it very useful.

I was thinking that a separate command would allow binding to a single
key, but history should help a lot. Don't know why I didn't try it.
Thanks.

Yes.
(More generally it might be possible in principle to mark specific
entries and then move the marked entries, like marking files in dired,
but that would be kind of complicated in org.)

Different.
If you are on a previously remembered entry called "granny smith", and
you want to file under /food/fruit/apple, but apple does not exist
(/food/fruit is all that exists), then you could type
/food/fruit/apple and org-refile would 1. create apple and 2. put
the entry under point underneath apple.
At present, org-refile will not let you enter the apple part. Perhaps
I am missing something here.
> I don't know ido.el, what advantages would it give?
You could, for example, type a sequence of letters that appear in that
order anywhere in the target, case insensitively, to select an entry.
It is thrillingly efficient.
Maybe anything.el has a similar mechanism.

This part I have now implement. You can select a region of siblings,
and they will all be refiled to the same location.

Thanks, that is excellent. I like it when commands work on regions also.
