mark parent of current heading

mark parent of current heading

[Matt Price]

is it possible to mark, not the current subtree, but one level up from
the current subtree?  I would like to add that level to the org
bindings for expand-region,

https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el/blob/master/the-org-mode-expansions.el

Thanks folks!

Matt

you are probably looking for something more sophisticated, but this
(untested) snippet should do the job when you are on a subheadline:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (save-excursion
    (org-up-element)
    (org-mark-subtree)))
#+end_src

Interactively, this would be

C-c C-^ M-h

if point is on the headline,

C-c C-^ C-c C-^ M-h

if point is within the subtree.

Thanks Thorsten,

This is in fact almost exactly what I was looking for, but it seems
expand-region needs something rather more sophisticated, I'll get back
to the list when I have it figured out.  Thank you!
