I'll try to play with it some more, but it didn't make my cheat sheet of cool tricks :) I need to get used to using the transient mark. I use C-@ instead of C-Space, though . . . works better across a ssh session :) --0016363ba4e44cf0dd048551abaa Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

1. I use C-[SPACE] together with transient-mark-mode to select a regi= on
=A0 and then type C-w to kill it and C-y to yank it.

2. I often kill folded subtrees with a simple C-k (org-kill-line).

3. I make frequent use of org-refile.



I didn't like org-refile.=A0 It didn&#= 39;t seem to want to refile under anything but a top level (or maybe I was = refiling a level 2) . . . I'll try to play with it some more, but it di= dn't make my cheat sheet of cool tricks :)
