The non-leaf target locations will be displayed in the auto-completion buffer, but can not be selected. I have the following settings (setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2)))) (setq org-refile-use-outline-path t) I am using the latest version (5.17a). Is there any option that I can set to change this behavior? Thanks for help. And, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all orgers.... Wanrong ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Let me know if this is still not clear. Thank you very much for taking a look of this.

This works fine for me, I don't know what might be causing this. maybe some completion package you are using? - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I will give this some more tests and see what could be the cause. Thanks a lot for testing and replying. Wanrong ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I have the following in my emacs config: (setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2)))) (setq org-refile-use-outline-path t) When using org-refile, the completion suggestions I got is (using example in my original example) Level 1 heading (xyz.org) Level 1 heading / Level 2 heading (xyz.org) Note there is a space between "Level 1 heading" and "(xyz.org)", so if I type "Level" and press TAB key, the minibuffer will get a completion up to "Level 1 heading" without the space, and I though this is a valid selection but org-mode refuses to take it. What is actually happening is, org-mode needs the " (xyz.org)" too. so if I add a space after "Level 1 heading", and press TAB key again, the minibuffer will get a completion to "Level 1 heading (xyz.org)" and now org-mode thinks this is a valid selection. My feeling is the above is a little bit counter-intuitive. If there is no multiple files with the same heading "Level 1 heading", I would think "Level 1 heading" should be considered a valid selection from the completion buffer. What do you think? Thank you.

In principle, I tend to agree but I don't know how to tweak completion to act like this. Have you considered to set (setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file) ? This would get rid of the problem by moving the file name to the beginning of the completion string. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

(although in org-mode, a lot of things I thought were difficult or nearly impossible are actually there. I guess my expectation has been elevated. :)) I think typing the file name will be more work (I am lazy :)) than pressing the space key, so I prefer the current setting. Thank you.
