suggestion: simplify depth stepping of document structure (outline) visibility

[Michael Brand <michael.brand@alumni.ethz.ch>]

Hi all,

I would like much more to increase the heading visibility depth step by step like with the following if it would be much easier to type

step 1 to see level  1:    C-u 1 S-Tab
step 2 to see levels 1..2: C-u 2 S-Tab
step 3 to see levels 1..3: C-u 3 S-Tab
step 4 to see levels 1..4: C-u 4 S-Tab
and so on until not repeated any more (no cycling, only as a sequence)

Did I miss some simpler work flow to do something similar (not cycling with Tab or S-Tab)?

Are there others who would like this sequence to be easily stepped through?

Which constantly repeatable key command as convenient as possible like cycling with Tab or S-Tab would be suitable?

I would suggest that any key command different to this new key command would stop stepping the sequence and that the first invoke of this new key command again would reset the visibility to overview again like `C-u 1 S-Tab' does (similar to the nice cycle reset behavior of a first `S-Tab').

The point on e. g. a level 3 heading would be nice to be there again after going through steps 1 to 3 (similar to the nice behavior of e. g. `S-Tab S-Tab S-Tab' when the point was in a body before).
