Instead it shows the completion candidates in another buffer. Is there any way to use ido with hierarchical completion? Also, I can specify a list of candidate files to refile to with org-refile-targets. Is it possible to get the same behaviour for org-goto?

No. You can use ido to complete on the entire path in one go, but not to complete on the steps. > Also, I can specify a list of candidate files to refile to with > org-refile-targets.

This is `C-u C-c C-w', it uses the refile command interface to go to a location. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'm always looking for a faster way to move around my org buffers, so based on what you said above, I tried setting org-refile-targets like so: (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:maxlevel . 2)))) And then tried using C-u C-c C-w to move around. Unfortunately, it's not very practical for moving around since if you want to move somewhere in the same tree you get this error: Cannot refile to position inside the tree or region It would really be neat if there was a way to jump to a specific heading, no matter how deep, by just typing a few key strokes. Right now, I'm using C-s to do this, but the idea of having auto-completion is compelling. How about something like this: 1. Using a key binding, you enter a movement mode (ido, mini-buffer) 2. You select the first level heading you want (just like C-c C-w) 3. Point moves to the heading you selected 4. You are prompted for a second level heading 5. Either choose a heading, or do C-g to stay where you are 6. Continue until you get where you want to be Does that sound interesting to anyone? If so, I could put together something for us to play with. -- Peter Jones, http://pmade.com pmade inc. Louisville, CO US ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

You can select the interface to be used with the variable org-goto-interface. Set it to outline-path-completion and it will work like refiling. You can configure the maximum depth for this command with org-goto-max-level. > > How about something like this: > > 1. Using a key binding, you enter a movement mode (ido, mini-buffer) > > 2.

Continue until you get where you want to be It will not work like this, but I think, in the end, you would find that what you propose might feel slow again. I believe you get the fatest interface by using (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) and using ido for doing the completion on the full path. The main difference between org-goto and calling org-refile with a prefix argument is that the former always gives you all headings to a certain depth in the current file, while the latter offer a selection of important headings in potentially many files. I believe that many people only use the refile interface, and then have both agenda targets, and current file targets configured in org-refile-targets. > > Does that sound interesting to anyone?

I had tried org-goto before, but didn't know about the org-goto-interface variable. This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks Carsten. -- Peter Jones, http://pmade.com pmade inc.
