[PATCH] C-3 C-c C-w to copy the subtree instead of moving it

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 253 bytes --]

When taking notes in a meeting, I often need to refile a subtree by
copying it (so that it stays in the meeting's notes.)  For now you
can do this by setting (setq org-refile-keep t) but having this on
a temporary basis is nice.

This patch does this.

 moving it

* org.el (org-refile): With a numeric prefix argument of `3',
emulate (setq org-refile-keep t) and copy the subtree to the
target location, don't delete it.

Hi Bastien,

this looks like a useful function to me.  However, the documentation
should warn about duplicate IDs that might result from this.

Thanks.  I've pushed the feature on master and documented it a bit
better, both on the docstring and in the manual (`org-refile-keep'
was not documented so far.)

Best,
