feature request: org-yank to call org-paste-subtree

[Samuel Wales]

I am not up to coding this, but here is the defcustom.

(defcustom org-yank-adjust nil
  "Non-nil means that, where possible, org-yank will call org-paste-subtree
instead of yank.  This adjusts the level of the yank to avoid swallowing
succeeding headlines."
  :group 'org-edit-structure
  :type 'boolean)

Hi Samuel,

this is a very interesting idea, but I fear that in practice it might  
be too magic and cause side effects in places you'd would not want them.

I need to think more about this, comments are welcome.

Re: feature request: org-yank to call org-paste-subtree

[Samuel Wales]

I find that org-paste-subtree works perfectly all the time for
headlines, and that org-yank does not work for headlines any time the
levels are wrong.  But I just started using them.

Approximate and prob wrong:

(defun org-yank-possibly-adjusted ()
  (save-excursion
    (if (and org-yank-adjust (org-kill-is-subtree-p))
        (call-interactively 'org-paste-subtree)
      (call-interactively 'yank))))
(defun org-yank ()
  "Yank, and if the yanked text is a single subtree, fold it.
In fact, if the yanked text is a sequence of subtrees, fold all of them."
  (interactive)
  (if org-yank-folded-subtrees
      (let ((beg (point)) end)
        (org-yank-possibly-adjusted)
...

Hi Samuel,

this is not the default behavior in the latest git, below
is the preliminary documentation.  Depending on the reactions I get,
I might still turn this off by default.  However, I like it
and will keep it on.

Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, even
the nomal yank key `C-y' does now adjust the level of the tree
to make it fit into the current outline position, without
loosing its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.

This uses the command `org-past-subtree'.  An additional
change in that command has been implemented:  Normally, this
command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
*visible* headlines, and uses the smaller on.  So it the
cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
will be pasted as level 3.  Now, if the cursor is actually
*at* the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline
will be used.  So lets say you have a tree like this:

   * Level one
   ** Level two
   (1)
   (2)* Level one again

with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
insertion.  When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.

If you do not like `C-y' to behave like this, configure the
variable `org-yank-adjusted-subtrees'.

Hi Carsten,

Latest update from git throws this and aborts compilation; both under
Windows+Cygwin and Debian Unstable.  Do I need any pre-requisite
package?

Fixed, thanks.


It was a typo in the package name.  But I have now actually removed  
the dependence on the package.

[Samuel Wales]

Thanks, Carsten, I look forward to trying it in the next release.

Re: feature request: org-yank to call org-paste-subtree

[Samuel Wales]

Another enhancement here would be getting yank-pop to work.

Re: feature request: org-yank to call org-paste-subtree

[Samuel Wales]

Ah, meant to say, works great.  :)

OK, I made it work, but yank-pop will not adjust tree
levels or fold.  This would be complex to implement, and I am
not confident I can do this right.
