Visibility cycling at end of headline

Visibility cycling at end of headline

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

When I'm trying to expand a folded headline using Tab, this seems to
work only if the cursor is before the '...', i.e. just before the "1" in
the following example:

* Sample heading 1...
* Sample heading 2

If the cursor is to the right of the "1" (in particular if it's at the
end of the line), nothing happens.

Why is this, and is there a way to change it?

Thanks,
-Nikolaus

I think this is because point is considered to be on the hidden text,
not the headline, so the cycling behavior does not apply.  To test this,
run `org-element-at-point' before and after '...'.

C-a?

Yes, that seems to be a problem.

Well, obviously I meant a way to *automatically* have Tab work at the
end of the line (I think redefining Tab to first call C-a would break
stuff in other situations).

Best,

I also would really like tab to work at the end of a headline with
hidden text as it would anywhere else on the line.  I see no benefit
from org treating the cursor at the absolute end of the line as being
within the hidden text but maybe somebody can explain?

Having to hit C-a first is annoying...

Thanks,
eric

This change in org-cycle line 131 seems to have the desired effect:

--- 128,134 ---- Original

          ;; At an item/headline: delegate to `org-cycle-internal-local'.
          ((and (or (and org-cycle-include-plain-lists (org-at-item-p))
! 		 (save-excursion (beginning-of-line 1)
   				 (looking-at org-outline-regexp)))
   	     (or (bolp) (not (eq org-cycle-emulate-tab 'exc-hl-bol))))
   	(org-cycle-internal-local))
*** 128,134 **** NEW

          ;; At an item/headline: delegate to `org-cycle-internal-local'.
          ((and (or (and org-cycle-include-plain-lists (org-at-item-p))
! 		 (save-excursion (move-beginning-of-line 1)
   				 (looking-at org-outline-regexp)))
   	     (or (bolp) (not (eq org-cycle-emulate-tab 'exc-hl-bol))))
   	(org-cycle-internal-local))

Caveat: I've not run this thru make test.

Agree. Less (keystrokes) is more (productivity).

HTH,

It should work indeed. Can you wrap it into an appropriate patch and
commit it?
