Sorry for a rudimentary question, but someone almost certainly has
done this before:
I'd like define a function that would:
a) Create a new heading if the cursor is on a heading or the body of a heading.
or
b) Create a new TODO heading if the cursor is on a TODO heading or the body
of a TODO heading.
Essentially, it would be a "smart" function to either press M-Return
or M-S-Return,
depending on the context.
I realize I can press M-Return to always create a new heading, and
M-S-Return to always create a new TODO, but I'd like to eliminate
an extra keypress for the most common cases.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
--Nate

Sorry for the bump -- maybe I'll phrase the question differently ----
Is there a function in org-mode that returns the TODO
status of the heading that the cursor is currently in?
Thanks,

Yes, try "org-get-todo-state". (Found this using C-h f, typing "org",
then using I-Search in the completion buffer.)
This returns something like this:
#("NEXT" 0 4 (fontified t org-category #("org-dev" 0 7 (fontified t face
org-property-value org-category "projects")) face org-todo))
or nil if there is no TODO state.
This syntax is new to me (elisp noob here), but the elisp reference told
me it's just a string with text properties.
The following code seems to accomplish your goal:
(defun jb/smart-insert-heading ()
(if (org-get-todo-state)
(call-interactively 'org-insert-todo-heading)
(call-interactively 'org-insert-heading)))
HTH, Jan

Thanks Jan, this helped a lot! I appreciate the C-h f reminder -- I
have searched
through org.el and didn't come up with the right search terms. This
should help me in
the future.
BTW, your function works perfectly!
Thanks,
