Atomized completion list for multi-value property keys

Atomized completion list for multi-value property keys

[Harald Weis]

For example, the key sequence "C-c / p <key-string> <TAB>"
yields the following completion list:

colon 		colon_rss 	oesoph colon_colosc
prost_echogr 	vitd	 	vitd prost_psa
vitd prost_tr

In _addition_ to this, I need a completion list where all 
multi-values are atomized:

colon		colon_colosc	colon_rss
oesoph		prost_echogr	prost_psa
prost_tr	vitd

A practical key sequence could use <S-TAB> instead of <TAB>.

Is there an ``easy'' way to achieve this or is it a major job ?

Thank you in advance.

Well, it is not implemented current, and it would he hard to implement  
in the current C-c C-x C-p command - because Org- does not know which  
properties are multivalued and which are not.  So a special command  
would be needed.

I don't think it is hard to make, using the multivalued property API.
But I also don't think many people use it, so I am not going to do it  
right now.  WOuld you like to try?

Thank you for this message.
Yes, I will try and report if I can find a way (or not). It may take
some time for me, but I certainly will try.
