Hi, when I set org-outline-path-complete-in-steps to t, I am no longer
able to use ido completion. Instead it shows the completion candidates
in another buffer. Is there any way to use ido with hierarchical
completion?
Also, I can specify a list of candidate files to refile to with
org-refile-targets. Is it possible to get the same behaviour for
org-goto? (i.e. so I can quickly jump to another org file).

No. You can use ido to complete on the entire path in one go,
but not to complete on the steps.

This is `C-u C-c C-w', it uses the refile command interface
to go to a location.

I'm always looking for a faster way to move around my org buffers, so
based on what you said above, I tried setting org-refile-targets like
so:
(setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:maxlevel . 2))))
And then tried using C-u C-c C-w to move around. Unfortunately, it's
not very practical for moving around since if you want to move somewhere
in the same tree you get this error:
Cannot refile to position inside the tree or region
It would really be neat if there was a way to jump to a specific
heading, no matter how deep, by just typing a few key strokes. Right
now, I'm using C-s to do this, but the idea of having auto-completion is
compelling.
How about something like this:
1. Using a key binding, you enter a movement mode (ido, mini-buffer)
2. You select the first level heading you want (just like C-c C-w)
3. Point moves to the heading you selected
4. You are prompted for a second level heading
5. Either choose a heading, or do C-g to stay where you are
6. Continue until you get where you want to be
Does that sound interesting to anyone? If so, I could put together
something for us to play with.

This is just a bug. Fixed now.

This is what org-goto is for. You can select the interface
to be used with the variable org-goto-interface. Set it to
outline-path-completion and it will work like refiling.
You can configure the maximum depth for this command
with org-goto-max-level.

It will not work like this, but I think, in the end, you
would find that what you propose might feel slow again.
I believe you get the fatest interface by using
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
and using ido for doing the completion on the full path.
The main difference between org-goto and calling org-refile
with a prefix argument is that the former always gives you
all headings to a certain depth in the current file, while
the latter offer a selection of important headings in
potentially many files.
I believe that many people only use the refile interface,
and then have both agenda targets, and current file targets
configured in org-refile-targets.

Excellent. I had tried org-goto before, but didn't know about the
org-goto-interface variable. This is exactly what I wanted.
Thanks Carsten.
