[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 809 bytes --] One of the major shortcomings of org-mode as an outliner is the following: You cannot have different hoisting or outline visibility settings in two panes of the same file. For example, if you want to hide the body text and just view outline headings in one pane, while you work on the body text of a specific entry in the other pane, you cannot do this. This prevents flexible restructuring and writing on the fly. It removes much of the usefulness of having multiple panes. Is there any way to change this behavior? Or is it something hardcoded into Emacs? Thanks JB -- Ignore the following. It is a nonsense sentence that disables Google ads from displaying next to my emails by triggering sensitive keywords. I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without a messy bloodbath. [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1002 bytes --]

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1040 bytes --] Awesome, thanks. This makes Org-Mode truly a two pane outliner. Actually it's three "pane" I guess, since it includes metadata. Yeah... 3 pane, the agenda view would be a pane. I would suggest adding this command to the documentation for Org-Mode under the outlining section somewhere. I've been using Emacs for years as a non-techie and never came across it. For writers it's only really useful for visibility cycling of outlines, so they're not likely to come across it elsewhere.

The clone-indirect-buffer function is from Emacs and Org-mode created a specialized function, org-tree-to-indirect-buffer, that just makes creating an indirect buffer narrowed to a subtree easier. Indirect buffers may be useful for much more then just visibility cycling. You can use a different major mode in each buffer, narrow to different regions, etc.. If you are, for instance, inserting an org-mode table in a latex document (see [1]) you might want to clone the buffer, change one of them to org-mode and narrow to the table. Then you can edit the table normally and alternate with editing the latex document as you want.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2917 bytes --] Ah, I see... that explains why it always narrows focus when I execute C-x C-c b What you described is an advanced use case which while interesting I'm not sure I fully understand. Whereas simply editing an outline in the style of most two-pane outliners is more of a basic function usable by everyone who needs to organize his thoughts. So more prominent featuring of this in the outlining section of the org-mode docs would be good... it really amplifies Org-Mode's power.
