I use tags only on top level items in org-file.

And want move all items marked by specific tag to different org-file.

I expect that this command kill items with selected tag to kill-ring in one
step (so single undo command return original buffer content).

Seems there are no such command build-in command...

no, but you could easily make one using the function org-map-entries.

I finish with very hackie code (based on knowledge of internal
implementation of org-scan-tags):

(defun my-org-kill-by-tag (tag)
  (interactive (list (read-input "Enter tag: ")))
  (kill-new "")
  (org-scan-tags
   (lambda ()
     (let ( (last-command 'kill-region) )
       (org-cut-subtree)))
   '(member tag tags-list)
   nil) )

You can replace 'org-cut-subtree' by 'org-copy-subtree' if don't want remove
org entries...

Yes, this work, nice trick with binding last-command to kill-region.

A less hackie version would probably add the found entries to a
string or list and only put that string into the kill ring at the end.

org-map-entries would allow processing of several files in one go,
but it would be a very similar implementation.

10 min of reading (info "(elisp)Low-Level Kill Ring")... This morning I ask:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/90339
        Want to delete distinct regions but make capable undo by single command.

This hack based on:

   (defun kill-region (beg end &optional yank-handler)
     ....
	  (if (eq last-command 'kill-region)
	      (kill-append string (< end beg) yank-handler)
	    (kill-new string nil yank-handler)))

I look to code and found that 'org-map-entries' call 'org-scan-tags'. As
'org-map-entries' looks complicated to me I try to use more low-level
function...

'org-map-entries' also allow rich search queries:

  (info "(org)Matching tags and properties")

`+work-boss'
     Select headlines tagged `:work:', but discard those also tagged
     `:boss:'.

`work|laptop'
     Selects lines tagged `:work:' or `:laptop:'.

`work|laptop+night'
     Like before, but require the `:laptop:' lines to be tagged also
     `:night:'.

Next 20 min I search for 'org-get-buffer-tags'. This code completely satisfy
my needs:

(defun my-org-kill-by-tag (tag)
  (interactive (list (completing-read "Enter tag: " (org-get-buffer-tags))))
  (kill-new "")
  (org-scan-tags
   (lambda ()
     (let ( (last-command 'kill-region) )
       (org-cut-subtree)))
   '(member tag tags-list)
   nil) )

Is it possible to include "correct" implementation (seems that I can't able
implement one) to org-mode?

I want this feature in order to simplify precess of moving entries from job
org-file to home org-file by marking entries with tag :HOME:...

I thought your version did work?  Does it not?

Yes. It works. But implementation relay on internals of 'org-cut-subtree' 
and applied only to single file and without any checks (I try call on
non-org buffer - it doesn't do anything - so seems it is safe).

Also it doesn't follow any org-mode coding conventions...

Also 'org-scan-tags' have 'todo-only' argument which may be interesting for
possible users of my-org-kill-by-tag....

Hi Oleksandr,

If all you want to do is move items why not use the agenda?  Mark your
entries with a tag, do an agenda search for that tag, mark all entries
with m and move them using bulk refile with B r

Regards,
Bernt

Great! I don't often use agenda so don't know about this feature.

How can I select specific buffer/file (and only this buffer) for
displaying/processing in agenda?

You call the agenda from that buffer and press "1" or "<" once after
`C-c a' and before the agenda command key, for example

C-c a < m

for a match view.
