Re: Testing org-mode 4.37 (and a few suggestions)

I don't understand the second point.  In what situation is there no 
global C-x key?  While Org-mode is waiting for the key after `C-c C-e'? 
  In this situation no command keys are available at all, so you need to 
press a key for a command, or C-g to abort.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Hmm.  3 prefix args....  Nobody is going to use this.  Needs something 
better.  Maybe just a history.

You mean a default for what will be inserted for the second pair of []? 
There are default for some links, but not for all.  I'll check if we 
can have more.

I guess this could also be called narrow-to-subtree, and be written as

(defun org-narrow-to-subtree ()
   ""
   (interactive)
   (save-excursion
     (narrow-to-region
      (progn (org-back-to-heading) (point))
      (progn (org-end-of-subtree t) (point)))))
