A simple use case: you're brainstorming, making org-mode headline entries as fast as you can think or type. After a while you notice that a number of entries seem to be related and might actually be better considered as a spin-off. So you want to gather up all of those entries and send them off in bulk to a different org file. Or even simpler: you want to group together a bunch of scattered headlines that you now see as being related. Yes, you can do this by moving each one around individually, but I'd like a faster method--- just mark them and relocate them all at once to the top or bottom of the buffer. > for me, i have long wanted to mark a set of tasks with a tag in the > outline or agenda, then have /links/ to them gathered in one place, at > a uniform level. This sounds quite useful, actually. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i * Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux *
