PS. Also can anyone think of a way to get a visual cue whe= n the file is in "view mode"?

thx!

Thx Thorston this looks great

can you r= ecommend a way to open all orgmode notes in view mode by default, i guess i= would then bind a key to disable view mode to start editing right?

thanks alot again

| view-mode is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in
| `view.el'.
|
| (view-mode &optional ARG)
|
| Toggle View mode, a minor mode for viewing text but not editing it.
| With a prefix argument ARG, enable View mode if ARG is positive,
| and disable it otherwise. =C2=A0If called from Lisp, enable View mode
| if ARG is omitted or nil.
|
| When View mode is enabled, commands that do not change the buffer
| contents are available as usual. =C2=A0Kill commands insert text in
| kill buffers but do not delete. =C2=A0Most other commands beep and
| tell the user that the buffer is read-only.
|
|
|
| The following additional commands are provided. =C2=A0Most commands
| take prefix arguments. =C2=A0Page commands default to "page size&quo= t;
| lines which is almost a whole window, or number of lines set by
| z or w.
| Half page commands default to and set "half page size" lines | which initially is half a window full. =C2=A0Search commands default
| to a repeat count of one.
|
| H, h, ? =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0This message.
| Digits =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0provide prefix arguments.

| < =C2=A0 =C2=A0 move to the beginning of buffer.
| > =C2=A0 =C2=A0 move to the end of buffer.

| SPC =C2=A0 scroll forward "page size" lines.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 With prefix scroll forward prefix lines.
| DEL =C2=A0 scroll backward "page size" lines.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 With prefix scroll backward prefix lines.
| z =C2=A0 =C2=A0 like =C2=A0SPC =C2=A0but with prefix sets "page size= " to prefix.

| F =C2=A0 =C2=A0 revert-buffer if necessary and scroll forward.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Use this to view a changing file.
| =3D =C2=A0 =C2=A0 prints the current line number.
| % =C2=A0 =C2=A0 goes prefix argument (default 100) percent into buffer. | g =C2=A0 =C2=A0 goes to line given by prefix argument (default first line= ).
| . =C2=A0 =C2=A0 set the mark.
| x =C2=A0 =C2=A0 exchanges point and mark.
| @ =C2=A0 =C2=A0 return to mark and pops mark ring.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Mark ring is pushed at start of every success= ful search and when
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 jump to line occurs. =C2=A0The mark is set on= jump to buffer start or end.
| m =C2=A0 =C2=A0 save current position in character register.
| ' =C2=A0 =C2=A0 go to position saved in character register.
| s =C2=A0 =C2=A0 do forward incremental search.
| r =C2=A0 =C2=A0 do reverse incremental search.
| / =C2=A0 =C2=A0 searches forward for regular expression, starting after c= urrent page.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ! and @ have a special meaning at the beginni= ng of the regexp.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ! means search for a line with no match for r= egexp. =C2=A0@ means start
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 search at beginning (end for backward search)= of buffer.
| \ =C2=A0 =C2=A0 searches backward for regular expression, starting before= current page.
| n =C2=A0 =C2=A0 searches forward for last regular expression.
| p =C2=A0 =C2=A0 searches backward for last regular expression.
| q =C2=A0 =C2=A0 quit View mode, restoring this window and buffer to previ= ous state.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 q is the normal way to leave view mode.
| e =C2=A0 =C2=A0 exit View mode but stay in current buffer. =C2=A0Use this= if you started
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 viewing a buffer (file) and find out you want= to edit it.
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 This command restores the previous read-only = status of the buffer.
| E =C2=A0 =C2=A0 exit View mode, and make the current buffer editable
| =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 even if it was not editable before entry to V= iew mode.
| Q =C2=A0 =C2=A0 quit View mode, restoring all windows to previous state.<= br> | c =C2=A0 =C2=A0 quit View mode and maybe switch buffers, but don't ki= ll this buffer.
| C =C2=A0 =C2=A0 quit View mode, kill current buffer and go back to other = buffer.
|
| The effect of c, q and C depends on how view-mode was entered. =C2=A0If i= t was
| entered by view-file, view-file-other-window, view-file-other-frame, or | M-x dired-view-file (M-x view-file, M-x view-file-other-window,
| M-x view-file-other-frame, or the Dired mode v command),
| then q will try to kill the current buffer.
| If view-mode was entered from another buffer, by C-c v,
| M-x view-buffer-other-window, M-x view-buffer-other frame, M-x view-file,=
| M-x view-file-other-window, or M-x view-file-other-frame,
| then c, q and C will return to that buffer.
|
| Entry to view-mode runs the normal hook `view-mode-hook'.
