Hi all,

Org speed commands are a major productivity boost and I love them.
Lately it has occurred to me to make some modifications with the
following configuration, which I share here in case someone wants to try
it. The idea is that Org speed commands are activated anywhere in the
header (not just at the beginning of the line) *or* when point is at the
very beginning of the buffer. This, in my opinion, improves the
navigation speed:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-use-speed-commands
        (lambda () (or (eq (point) 1)
                       (org-in-regexp "^\\*+\s+.+"))))
#+end_src

This also serves as a kind of write protection for the header titles. To
be able to edit them, we can use this function:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun my-org-toggle-speed-commands ()
    (interactive)
    (if org-use-speed-commands
        (progn (setq org-use-speed-commands nil)
               (message "speed-commands off"))
      (setq org-use-speed-commands
            (lambda () (or (eq (point) 1)
                           (org-in-regexp "^\\*+\s+.+"))))
      (message "speed-commands on")))

  (with-eval-after-load 'org
    (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "M-i") 'my-org-toggle-speed-commands))
#+end_src

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

If you are going this far with speed commands, you might as well switch
to modal editing. What you are describing is basically a modal command
map with ability to switch to insert map.

Best,
Ihor

Funny - as I read Juan's post, as an evil user, that was exactly my
thought. I've never looked at the org speed commands, but as I read the
post, I thought "that looks like what I have with evil mode"

Hi Ihor,

I'm not a fan of modal editing, rather the opposite. But in this
particular case I have found that I spend very little time editing the
raw content of the headers, once I set it. I spend more time editing the
'meta-content': TODO states, properties, tags, refile, attached folders,
etc. And that with the speed commands can be achieved in a very agile
way, so that a small dose of controlled modal editing and reduced only
to the header, maybe it's worth it :-) If the speed commands were also
activated in the content of the sections, here we would have a real
modal editing, and that (in my case) would not be comfortable.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Very nice idea; I'll give it a try, thanks!

I agree with your assessment!  In fact, I think I will give your
functions a try.  Thanks for sharing them!

Cheers,
