Hi Bastien, navigation is not the issue in my case. It is simply to have to see all subheadings and contents in one step. Imagine having: ================================================================================ * IT Projects ** Project 1 *** 2009 **** 01 ***** Meeting on [2010-01-04 Mo] ****** participants ****** topics ******* subtopic 1 ******* subtopic 2 ******* ... ****** open issues ******* general ******* specific ******* ... ****** ... ***** Meeting on [2010-01-11 Mo] ... ***** Meeting on [2010-01-18 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-01-25 Mo] **** 02 ***** Meeting on [2010-02-01 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-08 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-15 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-22 Mo] **** 03 ... **** 12 ... *** 2010 ** Project 2 *** 2009 **** 01 ***** Meeting on [2010-01-04 Mo] ****** participants ****** topics ******* subtopic 1 ******* subtopic 2 ******* ... ****** open issues ******* general ******* specific ******* ... ****** ... ***** Meeting on [2010-01-11 Mo] ... ***** Meeting on [2010-01-18 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-01-25 Mo] **** 02 ***** Meeting on [2010-02-01 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-08 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-15 Mo] ***** Meeting on [2010-02-22 Mo] **** 03 ... **** 12 ... *** 2010 ... ================================================================================ With current folding standards what you get today is: * IT Projects then * IT Projects ** Project 1 ** Project 2 and then ... all! wouldn't it be nice to be able to easily step into: * IT Projects ** Project 1 *** 2009 *** 2010 ** Project 2 *** 2009 *** 2010 and then into the next level etc. As already said, I can achieve this with " C-c " but this is not an easy "shift in and out" solution, I have to "count" the levels by myself and provide it in the command.
