I just posted last night on Reddit about this and was told that Org-Mode can't do this (which quite surprised me). Having come from OmniOutliner for Mac, there's a very useful native function which automatically allows you to make indented lists in columns (which can be collapsed, expanded just like bullet lists in org-mode). This is really useful for making long lists with different categories and still wanting to keep them all in column views for organization purposes. I was told that column-view can sort of do this, but it's really not what I need. I'd have to set up the columns beforehand, it's not intuitive, it's not really simple and on the fly (though I can see how it's useful for many other things). It's basically not *really* the same thing that I'm thinking of, which I can see at least. I'm wondering: Does this interest anyone? I hope I'm emailing the right place and I'm not certain if I'm breaking any rules about where or how to post about this. I also hope I'm being clear enough - I can elucidate more if needed, or post pictures/a write-up of some sort on my blog with a link if people need some sort of comparison. Please let me know? Also, I've been using Org-Mode since about end of January/February since I was introduced to Spacemacs and then Emacs, which got me to stay with Spacemacs and then Emacs (and now both for various purposes), so I just want to thank everyone for all the amazing work! So, thank you! Nat Harari.
