Lots of stuff is still on my TODO list, but this is how far I have gotten. Enjoy, and happy holidays. - Carsten Changes in Version 5.17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Details ======= Whitespace ---------- - When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the empty lines *before* the subtree/item now belong to the part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to this rule: If the first child is moved down (or, equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty lines *above* the first child to be moved along with it is limited by the number of empty lines *below* it. This sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space before the first child and still have good behavior of the subtree motion commands. - Plain lists items work the same. I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for pointing out that it is the empty lines *before* an entry that really count. This change was non-trivial, please give it a good test and let me know about any problems. Remember -------- - The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump to the location of the remember note stored most recently. If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele. - Template items that are being prompted for can now specify a default value and a completion table. Furthermore, previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a history variable. For example: %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven} will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will give you any of the three names. And a history will be kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the same prompt in different templates, you can build a history across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals by Bastien and Adam. - When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note will be stored immediately after all template parts have been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers. Refile ------ - `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin for this proposal. - When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set, refile targets will be presented like a file path to the completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.
