I look at tags as a way of categorizing my items. Using a tag for each  
header is excessive.
I have perhaps about 100 such main headers, that is a lot of different  
tags.
Also some of these tags would have to be quite long to describe the  
problem.

One real header:
***** TODO [#A] Spindle axis calibration: Disconnect sensor before rotating

If you ask me, that is quite a large tag.

I have exactly nine tags which is use for categorizing everything i do.
In that way I know all my tags by heart, and can look up my NEXT items
in a good GTD fashion depending on context.

what about pressing "b" in the agenda to display the subtree ?

The b gives me the subtree, but not the super tree from +1 level.

It might seem like this is something that must be programmed. Elisp
isn't the language I am most at home with, but i'll add a item for it
in my org-file, It might just be my first contribution to the org-mode.

please, read more carefully the manual on section 10.5.

use C-u N[1]   b

[1] with N the number of headings you want to go up 

cheers, 

Giovanni

Also, SPC will show the entry in its environment.
And "f" will toggle follow-mode, an automatic way to show
the entry at point in it environment.

Yes indeed, C-u 1 b shows the parent header in another buffer.
It does not give me quite the overview that I am looking for
but it is a decent alternative. But I think Ill give my Elisp
a shot.

I am thinking of a solution that would fit me.

If I have a TODO that is covered by subtopics, I mark it with the
todo string IN PROGRESS (an alternative would be a tag)

Ill make some option so that, if there is a header marked IN PROGRESS
(or tag) it will display it and a filtered selection of the subheaders.
So that my agenda will look like this:

mygtd:      ...IN PROGRESS A main topic
mygtd:      ...+----TODO Fix me
mygtd:      ...+----TODO Fix me too
mygtd:      ...+----NEXT Fix me first

or something like that.

But in the meantime ill just make a shortcut to C-u 1 b ;)

Thanks
