copying a folded task expands when pasting

copying a folded task expands when pasting

[J. David Boyd]

Is there anyway to turn this off.

I keep my tasks folded, mostly, except for the current one I am working on.

Prior to archiving, when I've marked them DONE, I move them to the bottom of
the file they are in.

So, I C-w on a folded DONE task, move to the bottom of the file, and S-Ins to
place it there.  But every time it unfolds it, leaving the point at the bottom
of the entry.   Then I need to move back up and refold it.

Minor point yes, but it's the way I like to work.

So, I haven't found any setting that relates to folding/unfolding on cut and
paste.

Am I missing something, or is that just the way it works?

Thanks,

Dave in New Port Richey, FL

As always, it might already exist in Org-mode/Emacs, but its easy to
implement anyway:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun tj/yank-folded-subtree ()
    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (yank '(4))
      (hide-subtree)))
#+end_src

#+results:
: tj/yank-folded-subtree

or a bit more convenient:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (defun tj/kill-and-append-folded-subtree ()
      "Kill subtree at point and yank it folded at EOB."
      (interactive)
      (save-excursion
        (org-mark-subtree)
        (when (use-region-p)
          (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end)))
        (goto-char (point-max))
        (unless (looking-at "^$") (newline))      
        (yank '(4))
        (hide-subtree)))
#+end_src

#+results:
: tj/kill-and-append-folded-subtree

Thanks, I like the idea of moving to the end automatically and pasting it
folded.  That is great!

You can use C-c C-x C-w to kill (cut) a subtree then C-c C-x C-y to
yank (paste) it again: if the subtree was folded when you cut it, it
will be pasted and folded.

I should have know it was in there somewhere.  Thanks for the info!
