Recently I've been randomly losing the string 'file' from all sorts of
documents. Up until now I had no explanation. It's not the sort of
question one wants to ask on public mailing lists.
OK, so if you call org-cycle "in the vicinity" of a word that starts
with the string 'file', then it eats up 'file' and prompts for link
insertion. This is true in buffers that are not in org-mode or
orgstruct*-mode. (I call org-cycle the whole time in order to use
outline-minor-mode, but o-m-m doesn't have to be turned on to cause
this.)
Try putting the following fragment into python-mode, and getting rid of
the asterisks. Then org-cycle issued with point at any of the asterisked
locations eats the string 'file' and prompts for a link.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def f(filepath):
print(
*filepath*)*
*
*def g(arg):
return arg
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is with latest git.

I cannot reproduce this. I created foo.py with the above contents, deleted
the asterisks, saved the file and then tried M-x org-cycle at the various
places indicated by the asterisks. In no case does a "file" disappear.
At the three places around filepath in function f(), nothing happens.
At the beginning of the def g(...), it folds the function (I also tried
at the beginning of the definition of f, with the same result). In all of
these cases, the buffer does not get modified.
The only case where the buffer is modified is at the beginning of the empty
line between the functions: I get a tab added (actually a bunch of spaces -
not sure whether it makes a difference but I set indent-tabs-mode to nil).
I think we need more people to try out the experiment!-)
HTH,
Nick

Tried the test with following text with numbers removed.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def f(filepath):
print(
1filepath2)3
4
5def g(arg):
return arg
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
With buffer in python mode, I executed org-cycle at the positions marked with
numbers and got the results below:
at 1,2,3: nothing happens
at 4: inserts a tab (four spaces in my case)
at 5: eats the line with "return arg" (also can not revert this change
with undo.)
The buffer "looks" as if it ends at "def g(arg):" line but when I tried to
paste the resultant buffer with "return arg" removed, I got the following
strange result.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
def f(filepath):
print(
filepath)
def g(arg):
return arg
return arg
return arg
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I tried it several times, also tried saving the buffer and opening it in that
other editor as well.
Tested with git commit 5834ad01b617430c0207627ad425758bcf9b921a of
"Tue Aug 11 16:32:05 2009 +0200"

Hi Dan,
could you please check the following variables:
org-tab-first-hook
org-tab-after-check-for-table-hook
org-tab-after-check-for-cycling-hook
Probably one of these contains a function that will do file link
completion.
- Carsten

Hi Manish,
the line is not eaten, it is hidden by outline. However, since you
have not turned on outline-minor-mode, you do not see the ellipsis.
A TAB is inserted because in places where org-cycle cannot do
anything, it emulates TAB.
I guess I should refactor org-cycle into a function that does only
cycling, and one that does all the rest...

OK, that was it, thanks. I had
(add-hook 'org-tab-first-hook 'org-insert-link-maybe)
I believe org-insert-link-maybe (code below) is something that Eric
threw together: am I right in thinking it has not been incorporated into
org core?
In any case, could someone help me with the regexp problem I encountered
when I tried to improve it? Here's the original version
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-insert-link-maybe ()
"insert a file link depending on the context"
(interactive)
(let ((case-fold-search t))
(if (save-excursion
(when (re-search-backward "[[:space:]]" nil t) (forward-char 1)
(looking-at "\\[?\\[?file:?")))
(progn (replace-match "") (org-insert-link '(4)) t)
nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I want to (a) restrict it to looking at the current line and (b) not
allow it to match words like 'filepath'. This seems to be almost there
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-insert-link-maybe ()
"insert a file link depending on the context"
(interactive)
(let ((case-fold-search t))
(if (save-excursion
(backward-word)
(looking-at "\\[?\\[?file:?[ \t\n\f\v\r]"))
(progn (replace-match "") (org-insert-link '(4)) t)
nil)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But this doesn't match 'file' followed by end-of-buffer. I want a
character class that matches any of
{space,tab,newline,end-of-buffer}. How do I do that? It seems that
although "\\'" matches end-of-buffer, it doesn't work in a character
class ("[\\']")?
