Are there any plans to integrate something like this into upstream?
Especially the wrapping of headlines would enable extensive tag
usage.
I have been thinking about that, but not arrived at a conclusion.
One
thing is the interaction with org-indent-mode. That mode already
does
the wrapping for headlines correctly by adding `wrap-prefix', and it
will look really good if you set the variable word-wrap to t.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I think the documentation to org-indent
doesn't mention wrapping (14.6 A cleaner outline view). How about
something like this:
org-indent-mode also sets the wrap-prefix property, such that
visual-line-mode (or purely setting word-wrap) wraps long lines
(including headlines) correctly indented.
However, the showstoppers are the following:
1. I cannot bring myself to turn off truncate-lines, because it
messes up tables and code examples badly, and these are major
components of my work.
Right, I haven't used it to much up to now.
I have actually put in a feature
request into Emacs for a property `truncate-line', to be
able to control this line by line. I got positive feedback,
but I don't know when any of the developers finds time
to implement it - I cannot do that myself.
Awesome. This sounds like the way to go.
2. Visual-line-mode is also a no go for me, I use keyboard
macros a lot and need to be able to rely on the fact that
[down] move the cursor into the next physical line.
I sometimes like visual navigation in wrapped text and my own motion
commands. I have two commands to move visually explicitly (bound to
s-down, s-up (super-...)).
(defun next-visual-line (&optional arg try-vscroll)
(interactive "^p\np")
(let ((line-move-visual t))
(with-no-warnings
(next-line arg try-vscroll))))
(defun previous-visual-line (&optional arg try-vscroll)
(interactive "^p\np")
(let ((line-move-visual t))
(with-no-warnings
(previous-line arg try-vscroll))))
So I am not sure how to handle this. We could turn Matthews
code into a module that users can turn on if they wish.
I'm using Matthew's module right now for two reasons.
* I had some trouble configuring org-indent-mode to only handle
line-wrapping for headlines, i.e., it shall only set wrap-prefix and
do nothing else. It always wanted to indent my headlines and body
texts additionally. Is this possible?
* Also, emacs segfaulted deterministically after globally collapsing
all trees with org-indent-mode active. I have to look into this ...
