Most requests go into the direction of enabling CamelCase words as links to other pages. The current way of linking to another page would be [[file:someotherfile.org][some other file]] and the proposals I have seen would make SomeOtherFile to automatically be a link to this file. Now, let me first say that I am not a big fan of using CamelCase links, because this system can easily cause inconsistencies, because scottish names and other thinks look like CamelCase, but should not become links. However, I can see how it might be useful to have a simple way to connect to other pages. CamelCase *can* be activated already in the current version of Org-mode, but then it leads to a text search in the current file. Personally I am not using it, and frankly I think this way to write a search is crap. To make a long story short, I am considering to (optionally, of course) make CamelCase words links to other files, and I am hesitating because I don't want to break established behavior, even if it is crap. So finally here is the question: Are you using the current implementation of CamelCase as a way to define in-buffer searches? If yes, do you rely on this feature? Thanks. - Carsten
