yanking a headline in folded state

yanking a headline in folded state

[42 147]

Hello mailing list,

A source of slight irritation is killing a whole headline with C-k
(usually to move it to another buffer), and seeing it unfold every
single sub-headline after I yank it to its new position. This causes
tremendous chaos sometimes, especially if there are a number of nested
sub-headlines, and the killed headline itself needs to be adjusted to a
deeper / shallower level (depending on where I inserted it).

So in fewer words: how do I yank a headline in its folded state?

Much thanks,

42

In my Emacs I have the following.  Would that work?

"C-c C-x C-w runs the command org-cut-special, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.

It is bound to C-c C-x C-w, <menu-bar> <Org> <Edit Structure> <Cut
Subtree>, <menu-bar> <Tbl> <Rectangle> <Cut Rectangle>.

(org-cut-special)

Cut region in table or cut current subtree.
Calls `org-table-copy' or `org-cut-subtree', depending on context.
See the individual commands for more information."

In Emacs 24.3, there is `yank-excluded-properties' and
`yank-handled-properties' which allow you to select what
properties are excluded/handled by a yank.

Have you tried org-yank-adjusted-subtrees?

I incidentally figured out the problem: I had rebound yank to "C-.", and
did not realize that org-yank was bound to the original yank shortcut
(C-y).

Therefore, I was yanking the org text rather than org-yanking it.
org-cut-special turns out not to be necessary, although I appreciate the
suggestion; and in fiddling around with it, I found the solution to my
problem.

Lesson learned: I should always take a second look at potential org-mode
parallels to the standard Emacs commands. Until now, I had assumed that
"yank" in org-mode was identical to "yank" generally.

There is also this variable: `org-yank-folded-subtrees' of potential
interest for the readers of this thread.
