When a branch is collapsed (e.g. invisible), demoting the header should demote all the subnodes also.
For example, if I have:
* a
* b
* c
** ca
** cb
** cd
* d
and I have the cursor on * c and hit alt-right it would just demote * c to ** c, but if c is collapsed ('* c...') hitting alt-right on it should demote * c to ** c but when I expand * c, ** ca should now be *** ca, ** cb should be *** cb, etc...
This way I can quickly demote whole sections of the tree by just collapsing them. I would think this would be the expected behavior. Perhaps I am missing a mechanism to easily do it. I am pretty new to org-mode.
Thanks for the otherwise great utility,
-Kevin

Have you tried M-S-<right> on the heading to be demoted? Or from the Org
menu, Edit Structure/Demote Subtree? Eventually, you get the key combo into
your fingers and then it's quicker than "collapse, demote, uncollapse"
would be, although I admit that your idea has a certain elegance -
the fly in the ointment is how hard it would be to implement and that
I am in no position to evaluate.

M-S-RIGHT
M-S-LEFT
I think it's better to behave the same way for collapsed and expanded
trees.
