to be clear, i am not suggesting violating outline mode's inability to continue text after children, or violating levels. let me redo. i am ONLY saying i sometimes have the need to yank into the middle of the text of an entry, even if what i am yanking is an entry. it was probalby confusing that i provided 2 possibilities. one was removing stars, which leaves remaining questions about any descendants of heading 1. forget about that one. the other was merely to yank heading 1 in the middle of heading 2's text. both same level. so here i go again with new decription: i am taking an entry and putting a whole other entry into the middle of it at the same level like this: === * a new idea i had regarding snicker snacks * jabberwoky some sophomoric comments on a poem more sophomoric comments === becomes: === * jabberwoky some sophomoric comments on a poem * a new idea i had regarding snicker snacks more sophomoric comments === then i edit, probably turnign the new idea heading into a regular line. if nobody else has this use case, then i would have to modify heading 1 before cutting and then paste it. becauyse otherwise in my settings for whatefer reason heading 1 ends up after heading 2. -- The Kafka Pandemic A blog about science, health, human rights, and misopathy: https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com
