Subject: Preventing (or mitigating) accidental deletion in org-mode
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 11:58:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A9120DB.6030003@nickbell.org> (raw)
Dear List,
Org-mode is great and I'd like to commit to it. However, I'm held back
by the apparent fragility of data stored in org-files. For example,
it's easy to delete entire folded trees of data with just a couple of
keystrokes or a mouse click.
It there any way I can confirm all deletions of significant amounts of
data?
I've tried wimpy-del.el <http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/wimpy-del.el>
but, although it seems to work when called directly (e.g. M-x
kill-region-wimpy) it doesn't intercept all other functions which
might cause data deletion.
I'd appreciate people's thoughts
Nick
