Hi Carsten, Alan & Co,
sorry for not following this thread closely. If the idea here is deleted
from your list already or is not feasable, just ignore it.
Refcard as info file
====================
How about maintaining the extended refcard as a second texinfo file?
After the install, we would have two resulting info files: org and
org-refcard.
We could then bind a key to some `org-open-ref-card' function, that
simply calls (info "(orgrefcard)").
Context help
============
As for help in general:
How about binding a key (e.g. `C-c h') to a function calling (info
&optional file-or-node) to get context-help while in an org-file?
(info "(org)tags") if on a tag,
(info "(org)properties and columns") if in `#+COLUMNS' line
...and so on.
Often more than one section will match, so a mapping would be needed
as well, as some sort of completion.
Best,
Sebastian
