Thanks for the report.

AFAICS this issue occurs if you press ; on a line which is not
associated to a heading.  So a workaround is to pick a headline before
the press on ;.

I installed a fix in the master branch which looks natural to me.
Concretely the name of the buffer is taken when no associated heading
can be identified (instead of erroring.)  BTW this completely complies
with the docstring AFAICS.


Best regards,
