Changing the behavior of something as common as C-a could be very confusing to someone just learning org-mode. I'd be afraid to change the default. On the other hand, I think it would be very useful to folks seriously using org-mode, so I would also say advertise it in lights. Maybe put it under Navigate Headings as a checkbox. If it could be saved with Save Options under Options, that might not be a bad idea either. Also it's been a while since I've complemented your work. Org-mode continues to become ever more powerful & flexible and yet each of the features are simple to use and understand. The recent changes to TODO items that allow multiple sequences and done states is excellent. I've finally had a chance to start using formulas in tables and that works great. The recent changes to the stuck project matching looks useful and I'll probably have to look into using that. Right now my current experiment is with writing a custom transform on top of orgtbl-to-generic to generate a statically initialized commented, array of nested C/C++ structures. I think I want to be able to go both ways. Is there a function that can take the same kind of data that gets passed to table transform functions that can insert a table into a buffer? If not I can create an unformatted table and just hit C-c C-c. Edd
