The following is part of an org-file:
* Actions [0/30]
- [ ] First action
- [ ] Second action
- [ ] Third action
- [ ] Fourth action
- [ ] Fifth Action
.
.
.
- [ ] Thirtieth action
But I am only interested in the first five actions, so I would like it to
be displayed like:
* Actions [0/30]
- [ ] First action
- [ ] Second action
- [ ] Third action
- [ ] Fourth action
- [ ] Fifth Action
...
Would that (in the future) be possible?

In principle I think you should normally not see more as five action entries and should (normally) not have the possibility to select new entries to show when there are still more as three entries shown. I have my own function that checks an entry and put it at the end of the list. I personally would want to have to select the new to show entries. Most of the time that would be the next entries, but not always. > It sounds like this would be a good case for subheadings, to break up > the long check list. > Then I get something like: * Actions [0/5] - [ ] First action - [ ] Second action - [ ] Third action - [ ] Fourth action - [ ] Fifth Action - Next actions [0/25] - [ ] Sixth action . . . - [ ] Thirtieth action So I do not see the total amount of actions. (At least not when actions is in overview mode.)

I don't know what you are doing, but it is not too often there are actually 30 actions that cannot be subdivided in my experience. I did have one use case like this for a list of assignments to grade in a class of 59 students though. You can probably do something with invisible text (http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/02/06/Invisible-text-in-emacs/) where you sort your list to move checked items to the end, and then use an overlay to make the checked entries invisible, and maybe anything past the 5th list element. Thinking about your workflow, it also seems you really want some agenda like behavior, so that you dynamically see a small number of unchecked items you can interact with. > So I do not see the total amount of actions.
