ANSWER When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to OVERVIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible. If you wish Emacs to restore the position of point where you left it in your previous session, add the following code to your .emacs: (require 'saveplace) (setq-default save-place t) If you wish Org-mode to restore the folded state of the buffer (not just the position of point), you can either use customize, or add the following to .emacs: (setq org-show-siblings '((default) (isearch t) (bookmark-jump . t))) If you use customize, take look at the variable org-show-siblings and set a special context for bookmark-jump. This will work for both saveplace and bookmarks. Org-mode has very precise control for situations when a jump into invisible text happens, for example by isearch or by bookmark-jump or saveplace. There are companion variables, and they are all in the customization group org-reveal-context. 2013/3/21 Rainer M Krug > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 21/03/13 10:28, Carsten Dominik wrote: > > > > On 21 mrt. 2013, at 10:23, Rainer M Krug wrote: > > > > On 21/03/13 10:05, 42 147 wrote: > >>>> Thanks David, but what Carsten suggested completely resolved my > problem (it applies not > >>>> just to bookmarks; it fully preserves my buffer's folded state after > adding Christoph's > >>>> code to my .emacs). > > > > Good - May I suggest, that you write a step - by step howto and mail it > here or even add it to > > worg?

QUESTION
How do I restore the state of my buffer where I left it?

ANSWER

When Emacs first visits an Org file, the global state is set to
OVER= VIEW, i.e., only the top level headlines are visible.

If you wish Em= acs to restore the position of point where you left it in
your previous = session, add the following code to your .emacs:

(require 'saveplace)
(setq-default save-place t)

If you w= ish Org-mode to restore the folded state of the buffer (not just
the pos= ition of point), you can either use customize, or add the following
to .emacs:

(setq org-show-siblings '((default) (isearch t) (book= mark-jump . t)))

If you use customize, take look at the variable org= -show-siblings and set a
special context for bookmark-jump. This will wo= rk for both saveplace and
bookmarks.

Org-mode has very precise control for situations when a j= ump into invisible
text happens, for example by isearch or by bookmark-j= ump or saveplace.
There are companion variables, and they are all in the= customization group
org-reveal-context.

Haven't thought about these - they would even be better then worg= .

Would make much sense - I assume that would then open the location wh= en doing a search - replace.
